On the other hand life is full of those kinds of “bad questions”: poorly framed questions, leading ones, arguments in bad faith, etc. You’re going to encounter them on future tests and in real life, and often the stakes are higher.

For sure, I’m more pushing back on using this example as a basis to go on to make a point about reading comprehension. It’s quite ironic that the issue isn’t really about reading comprehension, don’t you think?
