The disastrous system loss testifies that the system is not working. We cannot really point our fingers at the “system.” Simply put, a system is nothing but the people who run that system.

Hence, relevant disciplinal knowledge acquired at university is undervalued (if not absolutely disregarded) by the BCS system.
