Well, yes and no. If somebody just scored it as written, giving points for each argument known, it would be a dumb trivia question. But as I said, that's not what I do.

Try it next time you're mingling with ops people. Say in a bar at a conference. Don't look at what they answer. Look at how they answer. Some people are comfortable not knowing. Some people are excited to discover the ones they forgot they knew. some people get curious and eager to fill the hole they've just noticed in their knowledge. And some people get defensive and peevish.

Some people focus their curiosity on more important things than arguments for a command line utility.
