I guess exams in school are supposed to represent real life???
Real life is open book. Exams are horseshit.

I kinda agree. Although, I think the logic is nuanced. There is value in being able to know your stuff when your advanced tools and reference materials aren’t readily available or have failed. … But then again I’m sure most of these kids aren’t going to be needing to emergency land a spacecraft by doing complex math from their head, so… :p

It is a metaphor, not a representation. What it is saying is that structural qualitative improvement holds out longer and will give better results compared to trying to improve as fast as possible regardless of quality. Kind of.
