Insane. Can I take Geology 101 and reject the final exam with "God made the world in 7 days" and get a good grade? Same thing.

If I took a religious studies course on Christianity and submit a citation-free essay ignoring the question, just asserting "Jesus is a false prophet", I'd expect to fail

I don’t like metaphors this apt.

Imagining all the productivity I'll have once I'm either 1) not sitting at a desk with the feeling that blood is rushing down and filling my lower leg and foot or 2) not sitting on a narrow couch with my foot up, trying to do things on a laptop with T-rex arms.
