I thought about that one, but I dismissed it, because I thought it seemed too explicitly related to GUI elements informing the player of things they may or may not be realistically expected to know. I wanted a trope about the character simply having inexplicable knowledge, without necessarily showing it on the screen.

Thinking about it now, I realize that was pretty dumb. I mean, how is the player supposed to know it if it isn't shown on-screen?

So, yeah. Thanks.
