>Imagine going into a restaurant and saying "I really don’t enjoy a medium rare steak please make it medium well" and having the chef say "ok fine but medium rare steak is the best way to enjoy it so I made it medium rare despite what you previously explicitly told me enjoy".

This actually happened to me, and it is how I learned that "well done" steak does not mean the same as "well done" on an exam.

I've been enjoying rare to medium rare ever since.
