...it sounds like I'd be interested. I'll have to check it out. (I may have seen it actually but I don't remember it.)
Regarding tests and essays: I see it as unfair as a teacher of a graded class (as opposed to pass/fail) to include fewer than 4 graded works and each work (test, paper, essay...) should have at least 15 questions or points composing the grade. In short, I am set against single question finals because they tend to require more subjectivity on the part of both teacher and student.
Having said all that, I see the question in this topic about the "chair" vs "what chair" as unreasonable since, by placing the chair on the desk, the chair is demonstrated as existing. To then require a proof contradicting the previous demonstration is completely illogical.
There are a variety of requirements and criteria which one can defined/developed as "chair" attributes. These can be verified by either testing, inspection, analysis or demonstration. A chair should be capable of accommodating the size and weight of an average adult. A chair should have weight...
I guess I'm a bit too analytical but since I have a bit of attitude about the test concept, the idea of the attitude filled answer/question just, for me, balances the scales. Personally, I highly doubt the validity of either the accounting of the story or the professionalism of the teacher.
