I remember the tests in all of my Economics classes were multiple choice with the directions to “Choose the most correct answer”. The most correct answer was the one the Professor chose which was not necessarily the one anyone else would choose. I had lots of discussions about the best answer with the professor usually resulting in an significant improvement in my grade. I was lucky that I seemed to always get the one professor that was open to the fact that he could possibly wrong in choosing the “MOST” correct answer seeing as how all of the choices were correct and the most correct was just a matter of opinion. Most professors were not open to the possibility that they could be wrong.

Reminiscent of the old quote often attributed to George Bernard Shaw: “If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion”…
