Of course, I guess the important thing to remember is that those who make the laws...aren't necessarily science-educated. Something I as an American should be QUITE familiar with.
I think it is an artifact of craming and rote learning practiced in the Chinese and maybe Indian educational systems. This system of learning create students who are exceptionally good as doing what it takes to beat the exames and excel performance reviews, but really does not spent time digesting the full implication of what they learned.
