It requires more work, but it's actually productive work, not just for
the sake of the process, so presumably it's work you would do anyway.
So I'm not convinced it's "a lot more difficult" to show you've done
good work than to reply to a bunch of questions, and more importantly I
think it's more likely to filter for the right people.
