Why Couldn't We Have Seen This Before We Evaluated OUR Professors?

We haven't had a thought of our own today more worthy of publication than this posting from buffs law:

We've been filling out teacher evaluations the past few days. I insist the only fair way to do this is to grade on a curve. As it stands now, everyone gets As and Bs on these things, and every professor averages between a 3.5 and 3.6. So we don't express our true feelings, and the professors all win. And then next week, half of us get B-s and C+s. I don't see the justice in that. So why not fail a few professors? Throw in a few Cs. You have three good professors, but can only give one A, so the other two get Bs. The final two professors are pretty decent, but hey, sorry, you only have a C and a D left.

It's the system baby, can't hate the system.
