Andrew,
Yeah, fairness, or the perception of fairness is a big thing for most students. Good students (typically the "A" students who do all the work, and work hard at it) take offense when they see lesser students getting credit for extra, non assigned work to boost their grade. For me, that's not fair. I work hard for student trust and credibility. I think this is one way that contributes to that.
