What is interesting to me about these myths is how they get started in the
first place and even more perplexing is how they survive. As Brian pointed
out, in most cases they can be disproved in 5 minutes on the command line.
Yet the admin distance 0 myth that I cited can be found in such respected
sources as Doyle and Caslow/Pavlichenko and the ones Brian lists are equally
widespread. Weird.

I fully agree with Brian on these. These questions or "gotchas" likewise
here
are probably worth memorizing if this was more or less of a written exam
pin pointing out how much you know about the specifics. But the lab is
result
oriented so whatever you type on the router should give you hints as to what
is going on :)
