You just forgot.
Well according to your insinuation above, you imply that I must have stopped learning at some point in the past.
As far as the use of quotations to refer to the words
No, but there are no surprises there about what you think supports your belief. I made no such generalizations. Why are you changing the topic? Or are you so ignorant of the business world...
Am I to infer that you think everyone else is a saint-angel? Maybe you have a reading disability? Did you miss the part where I said "Obviously, there will be tendencies...
I use quote marks in two ways: i) to exactly write something someone else said exactly they way they did, and ii) to use a word in a meaning somewhat differently than its normal meaning. I see lots of examples of both all the time.

Usually double quotes (" ") and single quotes (' ') are used when a quoted person is quoting someone else (eg. Alex said "Art said 'Alex eats kitty litter'" and that insults my you, Alex's intelligence because Art didn't get that out of MY dictionary")

Its a flaw in putting together a quiz. At least you should have left out that fact. At most, you should have created a situation -- if you wanted to be objective -- that had nothing to do with your personal relationships (unless you wanted to discuss how personal relationships control some fairly large fraction of business in general... a valid but separate issue in real life). In the example I talked about (two small companies, two CEOs, lots of personal relationships, nepotism, and, yes, one of the CEOs also had a girlfriend, too).
Fine, thank you.
