So they're teaching idiots to hand off responsibility to other idiots and only cover their asses legally. What sort of irresponsible education do you have in the US?
I fail to see how this brings ANY value to ANYONE, other than those who explicitly wish to engage in abuse of authority. I also fail to see how teaching this as a skill in university is any better than teaching advanced pocket picking skills to school children as part of the standard curriculum.
So, you'll excuse my potty mouth, but I have to repeat myself - EVERYONE engaged on either side of this practice is a certifiable idiot.
