Here, here! It IS the sweet spot.. and relegating it to the "none of the above" spot in my view at least, damns us to the "fuhgettabuddit" spot of never-neverLand.
I mean, I DO use the "none of the above' in multiple-guess exams... and only rarely is it used to support an intelligent guess. I suspect that business types use it thus with even greater frequency... My guess is that "none of the above" in business practices = "I dunno.. WTF.. whatever"-dom... Not a "good thing"...
