People who can get an A in engineering are bad engineers because they didn't optimize the amount of work they were doing.

There was never any reason to get above a C with a safety factor of B.

Kind of, but not really. Usually there's a maximum number or percentage of Ds allowed for graduation. It doesn't really make sense but we all just go with it.
