yeah it’s really dumb. especially for students who have a really difficult time writing long things (like me). writing long papers is valued quite a lot in academia (the place really smart people inhabit), and somehow this value is transmuted down to undergrad education (and even some high schools apparently) where the kids (who are pretty dumb these days) have no business trying to emulate the peculiar activities of the really smart people and write these long papers.
