Yes, I hate having to do them. Worse yet, I loathe having to write essay-long responses to someone else's bullshit, even citing my sources, only to have the idiot say my response is speculation, hearsay, or a bunch of lies, and then, at best, they list sources that don't explain a single damn thing; or, in some cases, they'll list a source to a conspiracy nut piece or blatant speculation without any merit.

Like, dude, none of us really like to be wrong (save for obvious trolls), but there gets to be a point where you just make yourself look like an ass. Stop. Even if your goal is to be an ass (in an unoriginal manner at that), just stop.

In a corollary to this point, I have seen cases in high school during the turn of the millennium where someone put so much time and effort into their paper, got less than a passing grade, and revised it with an hour or two's worth of talking out their rear end... and scored almost perfectly. This was during a really stupid thing my district in SoCal had back then--that was forced on us no less, or we wouldn't graduated, starting the year before me--called Senior Project. Half of the judges were parents or other members of the community, many of whom didn't have the intellectual capacity to instruct anyone how to tie their shoelaces let alone grade a well-researched paper written by a high school student. Just . . . good gods!

lols

your school had non-teachers grading and deciding whether students should graduate?
