I actually am the type, sort of. Which is why I take exception to the generalizations you're making.

I think it's entirely plausible that a person goes through college taking classes--including difficult ones--that they're interested in and getting good grades in all of them. I also think it's not impossible to have mastery or insight or comprehension (or all three) in spite of breadth of study. I base these beliefs on my own experience...

You are not the type I am speaking of then because to you comprehension and insight are important, and good grades are an artifact of that.
