I see some of the points.

Maybe they arnt such a bad thing. More people are being educated in a conservative manor, (fly fisherman are more conservative by nature). Better a fly fishing class than a plunking class I gues.

The downside I see to it is that it brings alot of presure but I gues thats a bit of a selfish attitude.

Like you said everyone is looking for a shortcutt and you cant blame a guy for taking advantage of it since its offered.

I still cant say that the idea makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
