I think they do this so you need more than just a cursory knowledge of the rules to pass it. You need to actually understand the individual rules.

The trade-off is that the questions are sometimes too confusing.
The questions are worded in a technical way to see if you really know the topic, not just to make it more difficult for no good reason.

The real issue is that they're written in technical terms instead of the general laymens terms which all too many people (including officials) think. They're trying to expose the real rule and get the officials to know the rule itself instead of the most common application.
