          I thought the same thing, LOL.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                I can't really answer such questions without wondering about how the answers will be interpreted.

                For instance, take

                A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

                That's mostly a statement of facts, yet if I answer that I agree, it will presumably be interpreted as me being "authoritorian" or something, although I completely disagree with one-party states for other obvious reasons.

                            I know we’ve done something like it before a long time ago.

                            If we did it a few weeks ago I missed it.

                            But the answer to your question is yes.

                              We just did one of these here a month ago. The questions annoyed me for those same reasons.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                  Funny I remembered that thread for TG's take and the ensuing commentary, but had forgotten it started with this test.
