And in that case, (almost) everyone learns. The people who came with the pre written answer sheets studied, the people who wrote the chits studied, and the people who copied from others presumably learned _something_ in the process. Maybe some didn't, but that's always going to happen

I can't agree with this viewpoint at all. If you take a viva of one of these students who came in with a pre-written answer sheet copied from a friend, a vast majority of them would straight up fail.

As TA and prof, I have seen cheaters copy word to word, spelling mistakes included, incorrect grammatical structures as is, basic mistakes like 6/2=2 untouched, because they are literally Ctrl-C Ctrl-V with their hands, with no brain involvement whatsoever.
