Frustrating. I know that you cannot cover every eventuality but with the multiple choice questions, I am so often finding that I have got the topic correct but that there is another trap in the questions but the learn and discuss sends me back to the bit I have got right!.. like when to put -t- between two vowels (a-t-appellé) sends me back to the passé composé I can see that the traps are meant to be helpful but not when we can't see why it is actually wrong and keep making the same mistake.

I agree with you. There are shortcomings when doing online courses (with an algorithm grading your answer) over actually having a human teacher to interact with. On the other hand, there are a lot of advantages, too. I doubt it's going to be possible to iron them all out. At least not in the foreseeable future.

Agree.. but where there is a deliberate piège maybe there could be a link.
