romantic cardinal vowels?

Well, well, well ...
One of my questions in the written final test was: "What distinguishes primary from secondary cardinal vowels?"
One of my promising young professionals wrote: "[...]. The secondary cardinal vowels are vowels not used in most romantic languages." Thank you, Sören, for brightening up my day!
