I'm not so sure. My brother's medical school had to tell students they had to study the actual material rather than Anki decks because so many students were failing tests.

Doing anki cards with words two hours every day, and not doing any reading of material is very detrimental for me.
I do not study medicin, but for language I have to actually be able to use what I memorize. Knowing how to use words is harder than it sounds, you need context. A common mistake when constructing sentences is getting the tone wrong and choosing the wrong synonyms.
..this is why you usually have whole sentences on Anki cards, not single words.
Does not always help, but I am not picking. You are right it only fails in 1/100 cards.
That seems highly atypical.
Perhaps they were relying on LLMs to generate decks?
