Hmm, it makes sense in high school cases where a grades are based on busy work (i.e. where you get some points for completion regardless of whether you demonstrate any meaningful knowledge or skills.) If you blow off an assignment and don’t do it at all, it really shouldn’t be deemed inferior in the calculation of your final grade than doing such a crappy job on it that you get an F at 55% or so. But if you get 55% of the math problems on a test right, that shows you know significantly more than the person who got 0% of the problems right.
