Wow! A whole new low. I never thought I would see it get worse but here it is.
Please tell me we are better than this as a profession.

I'm not sure what here gives you cause for such a cri de coeur.
It would certainly dismay me to see these attitudes taken by an educator. For a working professional with deadlines to meet, they are entirely reasonable, albeit perhaps a bit harsh. But the world can be a bit harsh, too.

What, to you, is the purpose of a university entrance examination?
This just isn't the case. The label of incompetence can give you correct, meaningful answers to questions like
- This person wants me to work with them. Am I likely to get anything out of this?
- If I devote my time to trying to educate/train/help this person, will I see any results from that? Will they end up with any additional knowledge/skills/gain?
- Should I copy this person's work?
- Is there any value in listening to this person's advice or recommendations?
- Can I trust this person to complete an important task for me?
