Can “Mister” really be considered a first name? I don’t know about that. Could I get a ruling from **Zeldar**?

looking at the rules, I don’t think this actually excuses you from giving Johnny LA a direct question. The two relevent passages
> [@](#):
>
> These guesser choices do not have to conform to any other information so far acquired about the chooser’s identity (e.g. male, non-fiction, still alive).
> [@](#):
>
> “No, and I don’t know who you’re thinking of.” — The chooser can’t think of someone meeting the criteria. The guesser reveals their answer, and the game changes to direct mode. (If guesser was thinking of the chooser’s person, then the guesser wins.)
but it could just be vague rules
