That's what we have to do, and have been doing. But it requires the GM to really look at the Trait list (though Nictitating Membrane 4 is pretty obvious to spot so long as you know what it is - Eye DR - already).

"Do your homework and know your monsters" is a legit ask, though. (Meaning it's fine to say "if you miss the eye DR because you don't look at the monster trait list, it's not on the author/writer/publisher. RTFM, etc.)
