In looking up an answer to say, a silly question such as yours, people will see/read other, more pertinent information. They will get browsing/reading and covering so much more material than just what the question needed. This is the main point of many, not all, associations/etc. that have officials take open book tests. It often times, gets people together, which spurs rules/cases conversation, build camaraderie, etc. Indeed, many questions are silly, but the end result is that many get somewhat better.
Just my two cents, not looking for a debate/argument.

I am not saying do not take a test. Testing is fine with me, but if you are going to have one, then test the right things. If NF (or anyone) had that as the only question like that, but I recall 5 or 6 at least asking for the line or measurement information.
Nothing to debate or argue, it is my opinion. Take it for what it is worth.
But most of those real rules conversations I see people have are often at the bar or actual situations that happen in games (or other levels).
