Failed a test while reviewing by flagging a question as a duplicate. Now tell me you won't do the same

Question

Here is the question, that I was reviewing:

10 GB of RAM unaccounted for by top

It appeared as a new one, so I flagged it as a duplicate of How to interpret output from Linux 'top' command? (actually there are hundreds of the same "why my free command displays wrong memory" questions out there).

Then got this:

 STOP! Look and Listen.

 This was an audit, designed to see if you were paying attention.
 You didn't pass. Your review was inappropriate.
 This was a high quality post and you should have considered leaving it
 as-is or even upvoting.  

You know, I'm getting a feeling I'm the only one doing reviews for several weeks, since the "unreviewed" posts count only goes down when I'm doing it. Getting a test failure on such troll questions doesn't help my motivation in doing reviews at all.

---

I might just have a simple technical solution, that will once & for all eliminate this problem:

1. When flagging question as a duplicate, we already got "Similar questions frequently linked or suggested as originals" search field.
2. Exclude questions that have possible duplicates from the "review audit" questions pool.
3. Problem solved!

I'll explain a bit:

Look at the top rated questions, choose a random one, press "flag -> Duplicate" and check whether it has any suggested duplicates. If it doesn't, than it's a good test question. Here is an example of a good test question.

But if it does have a long list of possible duplicates like this one - exclude it from the pool, so it never shows as a test question.

I'm not saying this is anywhere near important, but it would be nice if this is implemented someday.

Answer 1

Disregarding my personal opinion on whether this question is, or isn't, off-topic.
Here's my two cents on disputing Review Audits on meta.

Don't bother

By design reviews take several votes, it takes a consensus of people to close a question.
This also means that people are allowed to disagree, but they have to abide by the majority vote.
The fact that you disagree with a particular closed question, or want to close a question that others don't is just fine.

Your opinion matters, the fact that you want to do reviews and care enough to post on here (in a civil manner) means that your opinion probably matters more than most.
But a review audit is the place where your opinion doesn't actually matter it's trying to trap people who are inattentive while doing the review queue.
It's not trying to test your knowledge of the subject, it's not trying to spark a discussion on the merits of the question.
It's trying to catch out people who just mindlessly spam a button.

You're not one of those, you've in effect been trapped into arguing with an automated system here.
So don't bother, accept that you disagree and think this question should be closed as a dupe.
Perhaps place a close flag on the question yourself, and move on. You've voted.

Answer 2

In short, this question is not a duplicate of the 30,000 "how does free work?" questions on the site. It's asking a much more specific and detailed question, not covered by the dupe target(s).
