      In reality the vast majority of the workload may be formatting and word choice that is quite far from thinking.

      And then you’re getting a bachelor’s degree and because you’re big dumb dumb who doesn’t really know anything, your task is to collate and paraphrase something not dumb people thought, maybe applying it to some case you have, but not thinking independently.

      A masters thesis can have just a little bit of thinking as a, treat, but most leave school before they reach levels where one thinks when writing.
