Thanks!Yes, you are.

Definitely don't mean to imply that you're wrong for doing so. In all honesty, I see most people playing that way.I don't play that way, though. Not just that way, anyway. Sometimes, the check is indeed to determine if a character knows something, like that barbarian making the Arcana check upthread.
My inspiration to post was in response to the misplaced criticism (in this thread and others) regarding randomness. Things get wonky when you invite or employ randomness inappropriately, and ability checks related to knowledge stand out to me as a prime example of that fact.
