That's fair, and you can rule that way, but just to be sure, the question was about their points of view with respect to the requirement of having a written test and a passing mark for people to advance past that test. The question was that specific. If the answer is that they can't answer because it's a matter of policy, I'm prepared to accept that, but that was the narrowness of the question. If you rule that way, so be it, but it wasn't broader than that.
