Funny, some of those in 'education circles' do challenge tests for the very reason that 'well known fact' doesn't seem very well known in some places.

Maybe because too many pundits quote fellow pundits rather than someone from the local directional U's education/ teacher training department. That was where I first learned about the problem, more than 40 years ago. But really it has been the mainstay of the debate over changes to SAT that has reached places like USA Today. The debate is not over if it is a problem but how best to counter it.
