Yeah, and that is annoying. I specifically remember that quote as a test question from when I was in highschool.
I mean, I probably got the question right back then but as I get older, the more stuff I find that I need to relearn.
Learning is a journey and reviewing old assumptions is always a good thing albeit time consuming.
