If that's true, then we're just asking for trouble. You know some baffoon is going to blow it off if that's the case.
On the other hand, it could and will come back to haunt them in the oral if they didn't take the time to get them down pat.
Anytime you put anything on the honor system, someone is going to take advantage of it and exploit it. I say test away!!! I don't believe that you need to know the stuff word for word (ie. push instead of press, etc...), but you need to know it regardless.
