Actually, that's the question for Exam Writers under Bloom's Taxonomy.  I
think we were just giving "examples" of potential questions as nothing more
than "examples."  But that's not our role.

For the Objectives, I think we're limited to "inclusion" or not.  But Matt
should feel free to correct me or not.  ;)

My only point is this ... "real world scenario" (see it constantly) ...

"More experienced Linux user doesn't like the fact that the 'official IT
department' has taken away root from him.  But before he 'gives it up' (or
possibly after using a loophole in security, a command/access allowed by
policy**), he puts immutable on several files, especially
non-supported/older binaries/libraries (especially those that allow him
access as root again) so they cannot be replaced by IT department updates.
 New Linux sysadmins cannot figure out why some updates are failing and/or
how the system doesn't match other systems, etc... (suspecting he still has
root)."

bjs:  "Humour me, run 'lsattr' on the binaries in the package failing to
update"
sysadmin:  "lsattr?  What's that do?"

I kid you not when I see this _constantly_.  ;)

**NOTE:  One of the many reasons I don't like sudo, or more directly, I'm
extremely critical of /etc/sudoers lines and regularly reject many of them.
