In a typical test question, there are often (almost always?) obvious non-answers, so it is significantly easier to guess what is wrong than to guess what is right. When you make a multiple choice test question with, say, 4 choices, it is actually hard to make all 4 choices look reasonable.&lt;p&gt;I guess the deterrent to taking advantage of such a strategy is the risk involved. You are wiped out if you miss just one. So you have to be supremely confident or a real gambler to knowingly adopt such a strategy.</text></comment>

He said that was what made &amp;quot;The Room&amp;quot; so fascinating - it&amp;#x27;s rare to find a creative work where &lt;i&gt;every single decision&lt;/i&gt; was wrong.</text></comment>
