Has anyone see Caltech's new application this year?

Caltech seems to require a GRE score (for essentially every department). But on their application this year, I noticed something very strange....In the GRE reports section, there is an option which states:

 

"I do not plan to take the GRE"

 

You can actually choose this option... What is this madness??? Some sort of reverse psychology?

Just because it's an option doesn't mean that if you choose it, your application will be accepted :P Maybe they are just making their system general enough to accommodate any type of program, some of which may not require the GRE in the future? Or, maybe this option is only here because the GRE is classified as a "test score" type entry and they want to standardize all of their possible answers to "test score" type entries (e.g. TOEFL etc is optional in some circumstances). So, I'd think it's best to not overthink it :P
