Well, yeah, but that's true in any game. You don't get spotted an extra knight in Chess for bringing a snack for the referee.
But experience points are given to the player, not the character. They don't exist within the character's world - no PC or NPC knows what an XP is, or what to do with it.
You are correct...
I expect to get spotted an extra queen for bringing the referee that snack, or, at a minimum, an extra 5 minutes on the clock!
