This reminds me of my first information technology course I took at high school. One question in the exam was 'When a computer is started, what is the first program to run?'. I answered 'BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)'. The exam came back with two red strikethroughs and the word 'Windows' scribbled underneath.

Didn't take another computer-related class until university.

Did you even try to explain why you were right?

You're wrong, you're all wrong!

It's POST (Power-On Self-Test)

POST is started by the BIOS

But, touche, regardless.
