But then it's also like when the student who shows his work, but gets the answer wrong, rises to the top of the class, gets the girl and a highly paid job in management consulting, because we ended up caring more about the process than the outcome. While the student who gets the answer right every time but can't be bothered to show his work ends up in a cubicle, endlessly berated for not putting cover sheets on his TPS reports (as mandated by the management consultants).
