This is not a World Simulator. Also, again, the DMG suggests that the DM decide when things are a challenge or not, when things are possible or not.Asking people not to attack a specific is unfair to a discussion, because it leaves no relation between the reply and the statement. In general, as characters level, they become more than the common person. These are stories of heroes, not ordinary people. While they start out close to common people in ability, they start to distinguish themselves by the deeds they do, and what they can accomplish. The characters are the exceptions to the rules.So, I don't see a problem with a heroic adventurer who has seen and done things that a book worm has only read briefly about, being able to accomplish tasks they would not have been able to when they started out, within reason, and that will always be based on a case to case basis.</blockquote>
