My source is "going to college" and "seeing what my peers wrote" when they asked me to help them proof read, and me seeing my paper get a 100, and their paper getting 70 despite being nonsense. (because the grading rubric rewards heavily following the process) I am sure that you have watched a teacher grade 50+ 10 page papers in the span of a week and heard their rational behind each grade though. Having graded some of those papers when being a TA, its all about the rubric, not the content, and most of the rubric is stuff like "Did they follow formatting rules? Did they hit page requirement? Did they have correct citations? Did they follow citation format?" Because not having a space in the wrong place during their works cited page is super important, but writing utter nonsense? Eh. Stuff like "the content" is sometimes low as 10 points on the paper. Usually about 20.
