Earlier quoted context omitted.
Um, it is a good reason. To continue to get a quality education.
I think the complaint is that it would be possible to get a quality education without the onerous requirements if it weren't for some bureaucratic gatekeeper -- they're not saying that education isn't a good reason, but rather there's no reason for the gatekeeping.
Understood. But my point, which wasn't getting through, is that its a pretty small complaint for the value of the result. Students have been complaining about early classes for maybe 1000 years now. Its not a strong argument.
