Well Allen, you have raised a very good point.  Guess we will need to
persuade states to include more items on the test so that there are still
items there that measure what the test is supposed to measure.

Now....I have often thought that a 40 item test is too short (25 is worse)
but 80 is too many so well 60 seems good.  Yep I can do this with 10 of those
embedded "fake bad" items and yah know I will not even charge for these.

So there you go, no additional costs for the state to worry about.

How 'bout it now?
