They're NOT "gotcha" questions. If it says "always", think of a counter example. If you can't, it is "always". Not hard. Do you know it or not?

Rather than covering the topic with dozens of scenarios covering each common or uncommon possibility, it covers it in 1 question. Do you know it or not?

It really is a lot easier to remember a simple principle such as "always"/"never","shall"/"may" rather than remembering a limitless number the situations that it may apply.
