There is no doubt that anybody on this forum who questions this guys motives, would do the same thing if they knew it could have the same result. Something tells me that he wasn't really trying to decide whether a building was going to fall down. And besides, for some reason there are many students who believe that an "A" means they really know how to apply their knowledge. I have encountered a few professors who were great at doing hard science and couldn't apply it to anything. Also, I have had female students ask what they could do to help their grade, but never acted upon any of it. Something to do with liking my job and knowing the wife would castrate me.
