Which is great and all but what's the point if in practice they just complain their way out of its intended use?

You said in the post I quoted that it forces students to actually do their work. If we're only having a theoretical discussion, fine, that seems like a great tool to avoid giving zeros and help the students. But if in practice is simply results in the kids complaining until they get their way, it isn't much use and doesn't help at all to hold them accountable.
