precision over beauty

Across the globe teachers and students are coming to terms with the prospect of another year of teacher assessed grades.
I'm currently in a bar, with two TV screens, one showing golf, one showing gymnastics. Both professional level.
The golf good holds more beauty.
The gymnastics has become a way to give a score. Impossible for me to do it. Golf, so much for accessible. 
They should both feel possible. Only one does.
And to exams. 

It's become about prescion and not about beauty. It's about collecting data, quickly. 
It's about right and wrong.
It's clumsy.
It's unfair.
It's never capable of being perfect.
