It was difficult to fake being well read short of intense prep work with flash cards for about a year. Prior to the arrival of Asian grinds no-one considered that amount of prep doable. The Jewish high scorers read a lot of books, as intended. The existence of a group that preferred to memorize flash cards for months, over reading more widely was unexpected.

Direct Hit was a book of 1000 words that might show up, and people memorized 5 a day, for a years work. This seems like breaking the system to me.

I completely agree that knowing the difference between those words is useful, and it is even better to feel comfortable using them, which is harder.
