>>11390360>t. someone who has never had to grade anythinghe doesn't hate teaching, he hates grading fucking papers, and there is no teacher who doesn't in science. it's just a part of the job and when people go intentionally above and beyond the scope of the assignment for the sake of stroking their own ego (especially in cases like this when it's outrageously overdone) it wastes their time, taking away from time they could have spent teaching someone something in office hours or paying attention to their research students, and creates resentment in them for that student
if you were asked to move 150 lbs of rocks by hand from one place to another to be used in a stone pathway, for instance, would you move 1500 lbs of rocks instead just to show that you could so that your coworkers could move them all back and marvel at your efforts?
wasted effort, nothing accomplished, everyone pissed off
