What he said.

We were sitting there trying to calculate out how many points we were willing to risk losing if we opened additional envelopes and could not finish the quest.

While the rules are "read all instructions" and the infamous "assume nothing" I think on some level past MAs should be taken into consideration (as shown in this example) - where in the past simply opening the envelope was a penalty; regardless of if you finished the quest or not.
