They admit the test is true, but then claim not knowing the answers is meaningless because kids of that day were taught to the test, a subjective analysis at best, and let's face it we do the same thing still today. Being taught to the test means knowing the answers, and therefore knowing the information necessary to give the answers.
Yeeees, but knowing that 9x9=81 isn't the same thing as actually knowing how multiplication works. Trust me. I've graded enough 2nd grade papers to know this.
