New Hams. passing test like its nothing. By studying only the answer. NOT the why!! FRS/CB?

It bothers me the way new hams are memorizing the answers and have no idea why or what anything means. When I took my General I studied for a few weeks, Didnt look at the questions, just studied the material. Soaked it in, then new bands, 60m wanted to know why it was channelized who we were sharing it with. Stuff like that. I just barely passed the test. But some kid behind be was so excited he passed not missing one. He used hamstudy basiclly he memorized all the answers and that was ok. Its ok with every ham out there. Know one cares, we just want our numbers up. Come one come all, we dont care how you pass. Why even make them take the test? Just pay fee and get a callsign. It is really frustrating to me.
