I said "False", and quiz says that is incorrect. I'm trying to understand why I'm wrong. In the example we just did, we didn't give it a callback as a parameter, we chained the ".then()" method which took our callback as a parameter.
Also, looking at the docs (https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#get) it shows the .get method taking a url and optional config object.

From what I can find, that optional "config" either can be or used to be an optional callback where you put an anonymous function.
