One of the fundamental assumptions held by almost all faculty is that students who perform well on their tests and other assessments will be able to transfer what they have learned.
Education is about changing humans. When our students leave our classrooms, we expect they can do things, see things, and think things they could not before the class. If our students leave with their abilities unchanged, then they (and we) have wasted their time and energy and money while there.
"But the Turing test cuts both ways. You can't tell if a machine has gotten smarter or if you've just lowered your own standards of intelligence to such a degree that the machine seems smart." - Jaron Lanier
