Yes.
I don't think that tricking students is the issue, but giving answers that can clearly be ruled out imo tests test-taking skills more than anything else.
For a specific example: Let us say that I give the problem 1/2 + 1/3.
Now, if I give the possible answers as 5/6, 1/4, 4/7, and 7/5, it is pretty obvious that the last 3 cannot be right. The student doesn't really need to know how to add fractions.
But if I give the possible answers as 5/6, 2/5, 1/6, and 3/2, I've included every way that I've seen a student get this problem wrong. I guess these might be distractors, but if a student works out the problem correctly, they will see the correct answer on the list and mark it. I'm not trying to trick people, but I am trying to see whether they can actually add fractions.
I'm fortunate enough to be at a small enough school that I don't have to use mc tests, but I don't see distractors as inherently a bad thing.
