That is often so, but has little to do the CISSP exam.

Either the exam has changed a great deal since I took it, or we are
privileged to be at the birth of an urban legend. :) The CISSP exam
operates, as someone else pointed out, at a very abstract/theoretical level
(30,000 feet, as SANS put it). It would be astonishing if it presented you
with a "solid technical correct answer" and then expected you to answer with
a low-cost alternative. In fact, it would be in contravention of the
guidelines for writing CISSP exam items.
