On the face of it, LB's argument looks unanswerable. But from what I remember of students in the dome (not all of them) is that there was a lot of sheer laziness and dopiness around. What some of them needed was a good kick in the backside and a reminder to actually do the practice. In my experience, if you do seize on the tiniest impulse to move around and to hop, that actually does get the bliss moving around inside you, and this promotes more of the stuff. It jump starts you, so to speak, so you're no longer just sitting there like a big lump of inert matter. So while grading students on how much they hop may seem senseless and a distortion of the teaching, it may in fact wake people up and possibly do some good.
