Does one get a small bonus for reading but not opening a box?

>pick my chest with my lock
You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a lame attempt (d100=23).
You are not able to pick the chest, but you get a sense that it has a fairly simple lock. About a -335 difficulty lock (in thief-lingo).

You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a miserable attempt (d100=19).
You struggle with the chest. As you do, you get a sense that the chest has a fairly simple lock (-335 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!

Pretty sure you do, like a bonus of 5 or something. Pretty sure it even stacks.

Yup. As per the picking locks article.

Same for disarm I believe - if get a sense you could have got the trap with a little more luck, I think the bonus applies. Stackable.

Yep, 5 per every time you see the lock size.
