Artificial "hackable" tests are opportunities to see progress at scale. While I appreciate the recognition that bespoke, perhaps Montessori, education might better prepare people for the open ended ness of life, there aren't enough unicorn startup opportunities in the world to use that as a primary means of knowing how well you know things. Evaluation through essays is better than multiple choice, the Socratic method is better than essays, but we don't know how to scale those things yet. Perhaps some day we will have a Young Ladies Illustrated Primer, but until then we have hackable tests.
