Not really wrong, but on reading it is easy to fake. Usually just retelling in some form what the teacher said will do the trick. (That approach also works later in life, unfortunately...) On a math question, if you do not understand it, you do not get the result in most cases.

Now, actual reading comprehension where you have to give an informed and insightful analysis and then takle a position and justify that rationally. Yes. But from my experience, you need an exceptional teacher for that to happen in school.

I can see why they ignored it for so long: having multiple places to put dot files for a single app is irritating.

Not nearly as irritating as having dozens of random dot subdirectories in the root of your home directory.

The first issue costs a few developers a few days of their time to fix. The second is a problem that nags millions of users for eternity.
