Though this doesn't seem like a valid application of TAS, I'll bite.

A calculator can do your math homework for you, but that doesn't mean the homework is useless. It means that if you don't follow the rules the work is useless. Just because something with no understanding can complete a task doesn't mean a human with no understanding can. It is built to test a human, not a computer, and it generally does so well enough provided the human is the one doing the work.

Yeah it's built to serve as practice and to leave you with the questions you need to ask the next day.

I get it. I hated homework in school and generally didn't do it. And a fair bit of it was busywork. But when I got to college I learned the hard way that if I didn't do my homework, I wouldn't really have the skills. It's easy to sit through classes daydreaming or even listening, and just not really understand how to do a thing.
