It can save the student's bacon.
I remember a physics test: Answer one of three problems. Problem 1: I thought not enough information had been given. Problem 2: didn't remember discussing this topic. Problem 3: did not even understand the question.
I beavered away on problem 1, turned it in. Teacher found enough of a thread to give me 20%. Came in 3rd -- and with the curve, I passed (which frankly I don't believe I deserved but I was happy to get anyway).
