This is when you make one of the WIS casters make an Insight check to realize the obvious clue is actually a clue.

"You get the strong sense that this bit of information is relevant to your current quest."

Is it hand holding? Sure, but we do it for the same reason we get our puzzles and riddles out of children's books: sometimes the obvious answer is the hardest to spot.

It's also fair. The fighter doesn't need to be strong in real life to hit the monster. The rogue doesn't need to be agile in real life to backstab. The barbarian doesn't need to be tough IRL

But tests of int and wis and sometimes cha are so often aimed at the player not the character
