Given the phrasing of the question, I am not sure this is so.  It may be to
postulate a thing that is not so, to trick people into thinking that kind
of thing actually happens, and thereby lead them to false conclusions.
(They are open to considering it as part of the question - but it seems
believable enough that some might confuse it for having heard that it has
happened.)
