Anyway, this is certainly not about the DM being confrontational against the players, but it's about the genre of the story. What is the point of a murder mystery if the solution is one push of the right button away? What is the point of watching a mystery movie and clicking on wikipedia to quickly check who's the  murderer before the movie resolves? How lovely is it when someone tells you how a movie ends before you watch it?If I were a player in that adventure, I supposedly agreed that we're interested in discovering the mystery the hard way, so I would not play a PC capable of spoiling it all with a click, or I would pretend to forget I could click that button.</blockquote>
