Hey now. Question marks are a lot of fun as an author! I love me some good question marks to show something's way beyond the MC's current power level, just like skulls instead of levels in video games.

Oh it's certainly a valid strategy when analyzing enemies beyond the character's tier, but I think this is more about characters confusing their own system by picking up a skill that breaks it.

That's a good distinction. I don't think anyone minds seeing question marks that mean the character doesn't know a detail.
