I wouldn’t say the business world is relentlessly honest in all things, but when the rubber meets the road, business either provides what the consumers want, or gets shouldered aside in favor of someone who does. This keeps them marginally more honest than in the educational system where the consumer who pays for it is generally not the student and they’re generally left free to pursue whatever absurd fantasies they please in the name of demonstrating how “intellectual” they are.
