"None of the Above" in Tests

I apologize if you guys are annoyed by my "excuse" or complaints about tests not measuring intelligence/knowledge. But I realized something long time ago. A lot of multiple choice tests have "None of the Above" as one of the answer choices. But, "none of the above" means that there are no correct answers. Then... why is there an answer? Because the answer says "none of the above" doesn't initiate that there is no answer to the question. So pretend number 45 on a test has no answer--why do we choose "none of the above" as an answer if there is no answer...

Hmm... Am i just crazy and abstract?

I guess so...
