Funny, I remember thinking the questions were biased, every time they weren't the ones I studied to answer in my exam preparations.

Too bad I wasn't a data scientist or else I could just get a passing grade by claiming the questions were chosen from a biased data set, or retake the exam until the data set matched the questions I studied for, at which point the data set would no longer be biased, lol.

Funny line of work, this data 'science' where you only use the results that fit the narrative you wanted in the first place.

We're in full doublethink mode, just keep repeating data 'science', 'science', 'science'. :)

I did a geography O-level (the UK exams for 16-year olds at the time) which included a map-reading exercise. It just so happened to be a couple of miles from where I lived, and I knew it well. Still only got a B though.
