honestly.
how can anyone bear a true or false test?

by what criteria is it to be judged?
is a statement inherently true unless it is judged to be false?
or is it assumed to be false unless a truth is determined?

and what is truth?

so naturally i compared today's 567 question true or false test with WWI.

in WWI
the germans believed all men to be cowards,
unless one performed an act of heroism;
whereas the american philosophy was that all men are heroes,
unless or until they acted cowardly.

but don't quote me on that,
"If you're using your words it isn't quite a quotation, is it?"
[Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl, page 102]

i LOVE that book.
i might even BUY the book.
in Hardcover (emphasis mine) and not wait until april for the Paperback.

anyhoo, back to the true or false test.
i pose this for discussion...

statement: Last night it snowed three inches.

true or false question: Answer T/F, last night it snowed two inches.

answer: DAMN sham question. If it snowed three inches, then it had to have snowed 2 inches (as one cannot get to 3 without passing 2) but is that the Intent of the question? Sort of like who is buried in Grant's tomb. (no one, silly, one is entombed in a tomb, not buried)
