Munchkinry is a time-honored tradition here, and the QMs know that we'll fish for important data whenever possible. That said, both parties here (QMs and readers) are in this to write/read fun things, and as such the true value to maximize here is not odds of success but player enjoyment (though the two often overlap so much you can't tell one from the other).
It's been mentioned earlier that the relationship between players and QMs is a little bit adversarial, in that info-gathering sense, but there's a qualitative difference between ruthlessly analyzing every scrap of text for useful information and attempting to twist the QMs arms to give us more. I feel like if we attempted this, trying to get the QMs to write things they don't want to because we might gleam more from it, they will simply ignore those parts of the plan in favour of the interesting stuff, and I would support this because I want to read Marked for Death, not Marked for Death's worldbuilding files.
Of course, interesting chapters and infodumps are not mutually exclusive (the QMs were so enthusiastic to write the Kagome infodump they gave us a very high XP rate for it because they just liked the plan that much), so if there's an opportunity to get an infodump that keeps the chapter interesting, by all means go for it.
On that note...
