That’s a perfect language for a sensitive situation. (The same as slang. It has a reason to exist)
Moreover, in this case, the “author’s opinion” is not formed from explicit words, but from the whole structure of conversations

That last post doesn't pass the Turing Test. Care to try again?

All right, if Tim doesn’t like “they”, here is a sibling of that question:

- Why similar questions can’t be solved by a same strategy? Please give me some main reasons?

(I think one reason maybe: some questions look similar, but actually they aren’t. E.g. a rate question is actually a ratio question or as I saw some RC questions: questions/answer choices are made differently.)

A random thought: If each question is supposedly created in a unique way, then the cost will be too high. There must be limited “rules” for making questions unique? Could you list some?

at 250$ per administration the exam is not cheap, and this ^^ is one of the major reasons.

the entire point of this test is to make it impossible to memorize a fixed set of strategies.

if there were an algorithm for solving the problems on this test, then this test would not exist.
