It may be. OTOH, I have seen some test questions which make you wonder where the writers of these exams went to school.
One of my favorites is: "which weighs more - a pound of gold or a pound of lead?" A trick question like that should never be on a test for a third grader.

Why is that a trick question? 1 Troy ounce of gold weighs 1.0971 oz. Avoirdupois, times 12 Troy oz./lb. = 1 Troy pound = 13.165 oz. Avoirdupois.
Pound of lead is heavier, what's the problem? (puzzled)
