In a word... no. Not that there isn't information deeply buried that's
intended to make it possible (albeit unlikely) that an unspoiled

expected to exchange information.

I've had comments from members of the Dev Team on my spoiler;

so I think it's fairly clear that they don't condemn spoiler-writing.
