Those that "know in their head" are probably quite few.  Personally, I  
would respect a doctor who *would* consult official documentation on a  
matter.   ;)

I can imagine what might go wrong there!  LOL

Yes.. But engineers must rely on their ability to look up stuff (charts,  
standards, blue prints, etc)

Totally.  50/50 is not a good way to test knowledge.
