on the writing ability of the test-taker. The test is supposed to measure the reading
ability of the test-taker.

I agree with this notion because if we cut into the aspects of a test, we will see
that it is merely an amalgamation and sublimation and integration of all the aspects of
previously done/administered tests. Hence, no test is completely authentic.
