There is a zero percent chance you will be questioned about your studying habits if you don't mention "gouge" with identifying information on the internet. There is a nearly zero percent chance you will be questioned if you do mention "gouge". I'd hate for someone to lose an opportunity for drifting into that really small percentage area. Unless they are senior to me...then I encourage it.
