There are many small points in the EiA that make it a game and not the reality show ;)
Take the fleet size being known at every time. It is not logical, but I think it is necessary to keep the game balanced. Without that knowledge in the game of EiA you just can't play England as dominant. You must do wonders with your fleet counters just to keep the French out. If you add to that the lack of knowledge in which port is the French army amassing then you are completely lost.
You are saying that you don't believe that the location of armies should be known to all in real time. Just be sure not to forget that one turn in EiA is one month of real time, and I would say that could be enough.
Your dummy counters idea is a very good one, and if this would be a forum discussing MT EiH version 5.0 then I would be all for it, but since this is a computer EiA forum I would be against it at the moment. I think all of us just can't wait for the finished product to hit the shelves, so adding a potentialy unbalancing (see England above) idea in, could make us all wait longer until they are finished with more testing.
