Those folks are obviously beyond having any sense of irony even if it slaps them in the face ("Honorlock" was mentioned as another piece of such software above)

Those folks are obviously beyond having any sense of irony even if it slaps them in the face ("Honorlock" was mentioned as another piece of such software above), let alone an etymological understanding of their company name. I completely agree with you that any form of exam in which such a system would even theoretically add any value is broken, meaningless and should not be used in the first place. Ironically, nowadays Chinese schools (don't know about unis) are also among those who employ extremely invasive methods against cheating. Competitiveness for coveted spots at some institutions is orders of magnitudes higher than in the west, the tests are all completely standardized and students have shown remarkable inventiveness in finding ways to cheat. Don't say: "Undress to impress & show your proctos to your proctor." Say rather: The cloakroom pegs are empty now, / And locked the classroom door, / The hollow desks are lined with dust, / The students here no more. They sit at home, get perved upon / by proctors via cam. / I raise my glass and praise the fact / At school I no more am. Am I qualified to do pretty much anything? ;-)
