The thought process of many people seems to be that it's illegitimate to ask a question on the forum that's a test question. Every scenario that's posted on this forum could just be a cleverly disguised test question. Which would make the entire forum illegitimate if you accepted that premise. Personally, having worked with far too many officials who wouldn't even put in the effort to ask on a forum in the first place, I'm glad to see the effort being made in the first place. Should we encourage them to look for the answers in the rules book and case book? Yes. But let's be glad they they aren't being willfully ignorant in the first place. In short, I'd like to see fewer posts with "That looks like a test question." which is just a pointless accusation and more posts like yours with rule citations. |

I read this as a accusation that he is posting test questions. I'm not sure how else you would read it. |

You're going to have to explain to me how I choose to accuse the OP of posting test questions rather than answering the question. |

For the record.....
I have nuthin' against anyone posting single test question here. But if they do so without any attempt at all to look up the correct answers first in the appropriate rulebook, then they're just using us to do the work that they should be doing themselves. And the only person that they're cheating is themselves. They're not learning a damn thing.
And they do need to think about that, whether they like it or not. And as I said, I'm not accusing surehands of that because I have no idea whether that was the case in this particular thread. What I said is a general statement that is just MY opinion and I ain't gonna change MY opinion. |

I asked him if they were test questions. That accuses him of what exactly? I didn't need to answer his question, it had already been answered by JR.

Let me ask this: what benefit to the discussion is it to know whether it's a test question or just a point he's unclear on? Does it change your answer? |

It could change how I word the answer. More likely, it would change what information I add to the answer.

I still don't see what difference it makes if you don't think there's something wrong with it. |

And if there were a significant number of people who completely misconstrued what I wrote, I'd accept that the problem may well be on my end. If I say "eagles" and you hear "rabbits," it's not my problem unless I really need you to know that I said "eagles."
