But you presented it anyway

Most likely it is an EU right, but violations would require a lot of effort to straighten, so I wouldn't be surrised if they do sometimes close accounts willy-nilly

Facebook at least is well known for collecting data on people without Facebook account, and without any consent, so I would say sometimes just not using is already not enough, unfortunately

I didn't down vote, but I really would prefer text

Also if the user is not yet registered, reset password shouldn't work, as there is no password to reset, maybe that's the real error. Or the counter is wrong

I was recently less than amused, when I first waited for a response for 8 minutes, and then an agent asked something, required immediate answer and ended the chat in 30 seconds

I think, from the article, they will not always flail arms that much

Maybe op asked for physical area to fit into country, since we're specifying ambiguous part

Just slap a sticker that reads ‘start here’ at its end

As a generic human person, I am not capable to answer your question in a satisfying manner. Want me to search for cat pictures instead?

I wonder if it is scored the same now as it was in 2015. That is because a lot of state exams where I studied are scored by percentile, so that the same result would get different scores in different years

Nobody knows the limit

I'm not sure, but let's say that's true. They usually also don't care to know the limits. Another interesting case is Patricia Stallings (emphasis mine):

an American woman who was wrongfully convicted of murder after the death of her son Ryan on September 7, 1989. Because testing seemed to indicate an elevated level of ethylene glycol in Ryan's blood, authorities suspected antifreeze poisoning, and arrested Stallings the next day. She was convicted of murder in early 1991, and sentenced to life in prison.

Stallings gave birth to another child while incarcerated awaiting trial; this next child was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that can mimic antifreeze poisoning. Prosecutors initially did not believe that the sibling's diagnosis had anything to do with Ryan's case. Stallings' lawyer was forbidden from producing available evidence as proof of the possibility. After a professor in biochemistry and molecular biology had some of Ryan's blood samples tested, he was able to prove that the child had also died from MMA, and not from ethylene glycol poisoning.
