Remember when standardised tests and intelligence tests and such would seek to measure your reading comprehension by offering a passage to read and then suggesting several possible summaries? And how it was incredibly obvious which one was the best summary because the others had nothing to do with the point, and you thought nobody could possibly guess that unless they were choosing at random, and the test-writers were therefore off their rockers?

Well, the summaries people include on delicious prove that those tests weren't so off-base after all.
