If you're given the option to do things with cards that are hidden from you, can you?

AFAIK, this is only an acorn/silver-bordered question, but I'm hoping somebody can think of a relevant black-bordered example or equivalence.
If I control a Psychic Network and later have an Oracle of Mul Daya enter the battlefield, as I understand it, I'll have the top card of my library revealed via the Oracle and not have it pressed against my forehead.
If those enter the battlefield the other way around, the card will be revealed to everybody other than me, so I won't be able to see my top card. But I'll still be able to play it if it's a land card? Even though I won't have that information. Is there any way around not being able to play those lands, aside from casting another Oracle or Sphinx of Jwar Isle or something?
As I type this out, I'm thinking this is... maybe just a question for Blogatog. I dunno. If anybody can shine some light regardless, I'd appreciate it.

Psychic Network doesn't say you're not allowed to see the card by any other means. The printed text just says its own effect doesn't allow you to see it, and its current Oracle text (yes, even Un-cards have Oracle text) says the card is "revealed to each other player". If you also have Oracle of Mul Daya then the card will be revealed to you as well.
