Hi Jack, Excellent point about following directions in general -- that deserves its own discussion, probably on a career forum.
My question is: What are your (collective) thoughts on this specific direction? For example, is it technically necessary, or not? Does Tutor.com strictly enforce it? Do you know of similar sites which don't insist on it? Etc.
