Yes! The Seed of Doubt! If I ever have to create a multiple-choice test, this will always be one of the possible answers :-)
Just last month I had an exam where the examiner had already helped me correct a few basic errors by saying stuff like "well no you switched that around", then asked: "So what is the minimum distance here allowed by regulation?" Me: "Uuuuhh wait, it has to beeeee... 30!". Him: "So it's not 50 you sure?" Me: "wellllll Iii... (fuck you) no it's 30." Him: "Alright."
