The answers are subjective, hence a white box is necessary that I obtained
them in the same manner as a control.

If you give me 3 options of what your question was then I can give a 
black box answer.  But you still have to tell me the page & line number
to read your question without you stating it.

Wait a minute!!  I thought you couldn't mark a subjective answer.

And don't give me BS that yes / no questions must be answered with a
yes or no.

I have, questions of this type.

Same with Raven's VIN just for a demo.

I asked "SHOW ME THE VIN" and pointed on video to V9....


The answer will be like "THATS AN IDIOTIC QUESTION" or "DONT WASTE MY TIME"
or "LOOK UP A DICTIONARY".
