Somehow this triggers memories of (among all things) taking exams when I was a student. Unless you prepared well, there's often some exam questions you are clueless about, and yet there's usually no penalty for writing some bullshit in the hopes of accidentally getting a partial score. So what students are trained to do is to write whatever bullshit that seems to be relevant and hope for the best. I realized the mindset that makes me a quality-conscious programmer is actually the anti-thesis of this. In fact during my later years I almost couldn't do that exam-bullshitting any more. It feels so bad writing something I don't understand that I almost couldn't do it. This might be offtopic, but I guess many people who don't have a natural OCD-tendency to deeply understand their work and care about tidiness might have to actively unlearn what they trained for at least a decade in school...
