How does this benefit you in the long run? "I'm good at convincing people that I'm more knowledgeable than I actually am" might have been applicable in any number of subjects or fields (psychology, law, medicine, auto mechanics, just for examples). Why English, in particular?
That was covered in the "grasp of the English language." In other fields you actually have to know what you're talking about, in English I can say, "Clearly the author's intentions were satirical because of their crippling anxieties in public that eventually led to their suicide. Therefore, rather than view this as a positive reading, it's clearly a jab at modern social expectations."
In psychology you would actually have to know something about psychology, same with law, medicine, mechanics, etc. English all you have to do is put out a paper that's full of special words that seem like they might be true and you're done. You don't even have to be RIGHT, you just have to make people think.
