Yeah, I've definitely seen that on HN and it can be very frustrating that's for sure. Unless you've been in the system, it is very hard to understand why some things are the way they are.

Side note: I hope your second year is going well. I know they've had a lot of changes for USMLE because of coronavirus. Stay safe, and feel free to reach out if you ever have questions about med school or just want to chat. :)
