Yeah, fair point, I was working from a "you have no lead but the photos/metadata" model, which is far more (and unnecessarily) restrictive.

I do think there's bit of an 'immersion disease' where people kick off at the idea of stepping outside the game to say "mate, just move on" when people are wasting time, doggedly chasing red herrings, or asking for stuff that isn't available.
It is probably an online discourse problem due to nogames/fewgames GMs with internet-fuelled anxiety disorders worrying more than is really necessary.
