      Yes exactly. If someone is handing in an essay like that then the assumption should be bad faith. This teacher responded very naively, or perhaps thought that their verbose explanations would be of benefit rather than harm, the problem is that the more you write the more there is to pick at. A one liner fail is boring for social media, a huge response is easy propaganda.
