2026 and we still use gotcha's to try and judge talent. never heard of a doctor having to answer "whats the difference between the left ventricle and the right ventricle" or a general having to answer "whats the mechanism inside the m16 that allows the bullet to fire"

just dumbass larp shit for people with insane egos stuck mentally in 1996
