My advisor said if you were getting a 4.0, you were wasting your valuable research and development time on homework. Nobody cares much about GPA, when you could have built something amazing instead.

Of course, GPA didn't improve his tenure chance as much as our R&D so, take that into consideration.

That seems to imply you were 100% guaranteed to build something amazing just by not doing homework, which we all know is far from the truth.
