Well, it does filter out those who consistently fail to respect a process and deadlines.

A smart businessman can buildout a proven, reproducible process and then employ people with a proven track record of following processes even if those employees are without any experience.

It’s a noisy and expensive filter at that. The low SES folks (anyone who has to work-study really) will be unfairly selected against per degree completion.

That seems like the innate personality trait of conscientiousness, not something trained into a person through 4 years of artificial tasks and goals, at least not reliably at scale.
