Lets take this at face value.

There is no reason pay academia for the entire class. If I can pass the final (and pay for that part) which demonstrate my knowledge, there is no reason for me to spend the entire semester/quarter/period in class or pay for it.

Prove me wrong.

This is how it works with real-world licensing and certifications.
