It reminds me of a time in my first college year when we had to learn underlying principles of ethics-based leadership (I kid you not). It was some kind of bullshit but everyone did his best to take it seriously. The teacher repeated every time that he wanted us to understand broader concepts and do everything but rote learning. Almost everyone then failed the exam (based on analysing various situations). The expected answers were word-for-word copies of the teaching material, that sometimes felt unrelated to the question. It was so absurd that we all took it as some involuntary but elaborate joke/life lesson.
