I would assume (boy, I don't like using that word) that the State's position is that to successfully pass the NASBLA approved course online, that you would have had to have first read the curriculum to find the correct answers. Obviously the State's goal is to have you familiarize yourself one way or the other with the content of material in the NASBLA approved course.
However, successfully testing out (getting an overall 80% or better sans the 70% or better for the on-line test) would negate that position.
I guess that if you have obtained the knowledge to score 80% or better you obtained the knowledge either by getting the answers form the NASBLA course or from another source (Power Squadron, Coast Guard, etc.). So I agree, it makes no sense to test out when it is just as easy to obtain the NASBLA certificate.
Anyway, we're starting to beat the horse here, this is New Hampshire
and "it is what it is".....
