So do you think that professors should have detailed and inflexible orders about how they assign grades?

The problem is having draconian laws and then neutering them with discretion.This leaves a club in the hands of law enforcers to club whom they don't like.

It is better to have smaller punishments meted out at every infraction.

The problem of this way of enforcing rules is:1) politicians can not start pushing for flashy punishment, because there is nothing moderating their stupid decisions.2) people would be very upset if stupid rules were enforced blindly

Discretion is the way politicians can make flashy laws without experiencing an immediate backlash (or fall prey of their own idiocy).
