I'm afraid you get it wrong, Shanna's *Player* 
I don't mean that Shanna the *character* wouldn't share her vast knowledge. More like, the players haven't ever thought of that option and therefore I didn't make a lore check for Shanna (or for Portho, for that matter).
What I mean is that
Ad 1) while Shanna has 19 Int (and I think Merri has even more) our (players + DM) Int combined is probably barely sufficient to hit that mark.
Ad 2) while you as a player may not think about an option other players may, and it's a fair call, like, the dumb fighter's player saying, "I think it is a satyr and the party druid may recognise him." and then I can make a roll; not for the dumb fighter, but for the party druid.
Of course we are talking about high DCs here; the satyr was just a lame example.
