Look, you can't complain about this after giving us so many scenarios involving N locked chests and M unlabeled keys.

Absolutely!

The rules are a base framework for the DM to build upon.

Also the scenario in the comic isn’t actual DnD it’s really a math problem phrased in a DnD setting using standard DnD dice. In a real game the DM would probably do something like what you described.
