I haven't been against this I hope you've noticed, but I do quibble with some of the particulars behind your premise. New players presumably will know to roll with it until it does make sense, I actually enjoy this kind of tension because it's between me and the game, and it can't be replicated after the first playthrough.
Of course I just re-read Dune so maybe I'm not in the right headspace for this argument :p
