I agree.
Questions about the real world need a worldbuilding context or they will get closed as off-topic.

Questions that can be answered with a quick search on a search engine will get closed as (insert new close reason here).
These needs to be mentioned in the help center somewhere, to get rid of the current ambiguity of the rules.
This is nothing new except we change the down-vote to a close-vote for the trivial questions. This is already more or less what we have been doing for a while. By including this in the help center, we would be enforcing the unwritten opinion of a majority of members that has emerged over a certain period of time on the site. It will reduce the confusion we create when referring new members to the help center.
