Well, yeah, I've never required anyone to have architecture to search for secret doors, even when Kromm said we did. And I'm glad he changed his mind, at least for the narrow genre of DF. But my regular fantasy doesn't need that kind of skill bloat. The only people that should have Architecture are people that design building professionally.

Though I note now that it is Vision, Observation, or Traps, not Search, my mistake.
