The point of school work isn't to generate something of value externally, it's to generate understanding in the student. Much like lifting weights or running are "bullshit" activities. You haven't seen bullshit until you see whatever is produced by a society with a voracious appetite that runs on "gimme what I want" buttons and a dismal foundation of understanding.
The students bullshitting their way through course work are like the lifters using bad form to make the mechanical goal of moving the weight easier in the short term. They completely miss the point.
