Oxford Blue, the examiners are testing a phrase straight out of the B737-400 tech manual which says the FMS is least accurate at TOD. The (implied) thinking is that the aircraft has completed an overwater leg where the FMS position has not been updated by DME/DME fixing and has drifted with the IRS position. There are several exam questions where the verbatim answers are found in this manual.
