Cliomancer suggestion

Musing over Cliomancers today, I came up with a new taboo for them.
Opinions?

Taboo: Become widely known to the public.  If your face or name appears in
the national media, you lose all your charges.  You must play a reasonable
part in the story - being mentioned in a list of attendees at a ball
doesn't count, but a story about your love life in a gossip column or
being involved in a murder scene does.  Remember, too, that some stories
can run and run.  This taboo explains why Cliomancers are so often
Sleepers.
