Indeed.
Once in what seems a former life, we were discussing multiple choice tests. One collegue remarked: "if a student gets zero points in a multiple choice test, keep an eye on him/her. He/She either knows exactly what he/she is doing or he/she is a statistical anomaly.

In the beginning it was worth watching, if only for the technology. Remember that in the early days each country had its own television standard. An EU wide broadcast was a major technical challenge. The line converter in Brussels was a concoction of vacuum tubes filling a room the size of an indoor sports hall. Fascinating!
Now every set top box can do line conversion as an aside...
