Mine is also 3rd hand. I heard of a prof. teaching a Business Statistics class who did this. Supposedly his point was that a general statistical myth(T/F questions tend to be balanced) has absolutely no value, and that one should be careful about one's assumptions. It is also my understanding that he did warn his students that the ratios of true to false answers were not 50/50. Like I said, this was third hand from a physics prof who had been a grad student at the time.
