So we should discriminate against the people who don't know to say "lawyer"? Why not just give every suspect a lawyer immediately. And since any sane suspect will listen to their lawyer (who will advise them to plead the 5th), why not ban police from interviewing suspects altogether, and simply give a list of questions to their lawyer to discuss.

Exactly! we should! By giving everyone a lawyer immediately we focus on establishing truth. Only reason we don't is that its obviously too expensive and impractical. This is why we initially try without, and involve a lawyer when "it gets serious". So consider this: Why should the suspect be punished for this reality?
