Gee, I dunno. Is there anyone reading this thread who thinks these questions are asked to disqualify anyone at point-of-entry? The form is written in that manner simply so the US gummint can have specific legal grounds to throw your ass out of the country later if they so choose (assuming they can prove you lied anywhere on the form). Is this annoying? Yes. Is it a weird way to welcome people to the country? Yes. Does anyone in charge there care? Not really. Ho hum.
