    I don’t consider a test writer being an insufferable pedantic asshole to be any kind of reflection of my own abilities.

    “Oh, you didn’t consciously turn off 3.5 billion years of evolved pattern recognition that functions correctly 99.9% of the time for the purpose of getting my disingenuous gotcha question right, on a rigidly timed test designed to put you under intense time pressure? lol”
