* The whole premise for several of the works of José Saramago -- ''Death with Interruptions'' and ''The Stone Raft'' come to mind -- is to avert this trope: an extremely simple but fantastic setup is provided (death stops operating in a country; the Iberian Peninsula splits off at the French-Spanish border and begins to sail aimlessly around the North Atlantic) and the whole rest of the story analyzes the sociological upheaval it causes.
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' has Bella's father's motto; "need to know basis". He probably figures out about [[The Masquerade|vampires]], but doesn't want details. Seeing how the Venturi would kill him if he knew it makes a lot of sense. It wouldn't take much to figure out that vampires probably would be lethal to humans in the know.
