Are you talking about memorizing what a linked list is, or someone else's code? I don't understand what is imaginary about such a ubiquitous construct.

I think the GP considered it an "imaginary problem" in that if you really needed a linked list for something, you would probably just make use of an existing library rather than write it yourself.
