Your personal stories are very cute, but they don't explain what you're proposing instead of tests. I'm not sure how you're going to use so-called "judgment" to decide which students get in out of hundreds of thousands of applications in a reasonable amount of time.

> I still contend strongly that it is wrong to distill a person into a collection of numbers.

Welcome to the adult world, where you are distilled into a collection of number each step of the way: look at credit scores, performance reviews, etc.

> I'll also mention that using tests scores is not entirely "fair" either.

Unfortunately we didn't come up with a better way to rank a group of people on scale in a reasonable amount of time. So tests are a necessary compromise. I also know plenty of examples where people aced their tests by just spending $30 on a prep book and studying hard.

Is it because of cognitive load? I briefly looked at your project, and I'm still not convinced that your solution is easier to comprehend than

function onLoginClick() { validateFields(); networkLogin(); updateUI(); }
