What is more meaningful? A letter grade with no context, or written feedback/commentary on your work? A dialog around improving your work? Seems like a far superior concept than simple letter grading. Also as you get better, the need to revise goes down dramatically. Seems like a pretty good incentive to focus on actual improvement and not just now to get a better grade. Meaningful learning - after having dealt with "education" I can see why the concept puzzles you.
