Or remember at least the Goddess of Creation, in which Ace's mother was suspected, as soon as she was first mentioned, and the immortal Fox himself (who, moreover, knew more than the audience) needed a direct explanation and a meeting with the statue to realize this. So the viewers has enough reason to recognize the characters as idiots.

The second example doesn't make much sense, why would Ace immediately make the assumption that the Goddess is his mother? Until the end of the JGP the only thing the main trio know about the Goddess is that she's a thing & that the DGP uses her to grant wish, nothing else. For all Ace knows his mother could've used the Goddess to wish for him to reincarnate over and over, and possibly wished for herself to never be found. His mother could've also a been running or be very high management for the DGP, for him to immediately assume the Goddess IS his mother would be complete leap in logic considering how little information he has to go off of.

Also Ace didn't that much about the inner workings of the DGP, the only things he knew very well was how to play the game, the rules, and what happens to players when they lose (memory/desire loss & unable to return if they die, he did not know players turned into Jamato). He's been shown to not know/be caught off guard by things such as not knowing that the Gamemaster was a Rider, he had a hunch about the DGP having an audience but didn't know for sure, he didn't know how the DGP selected players, and he didn't know how the DGP granted wishes.
