Let's assume, that 'The Physics department' operates similar to a 
satanic sect.

There should be filters, of course, that keep insufficient candidates 
from peeping into the inner sanctum.

Such filters are the 'Eat shit tests'.

Once the candidate swallows all bs, put in from of them, they are worthy 
to promote to the next level.

Who does not absorb any nonsense or even rejects illogic assumptions - 
let alone question the authority of the master druids - gets kicked out 
of the Holy Sect.

The bullshit is carefully crafted to generate metal trauma and make 
candidates grab any kind of resting spot, where they could eventually 
sort things out.

But rest is not granted, neither cure, since the candidate must REALLY 
believe the nonsense and be able to reproduce it convincingly at any 
given moment.

That is another test. And once the candidate masters to utter crap 
convincingly, he gets to yet another level in that multi-leveled 
bullshit castle.

Sure, some basic techniques are also required, like knowing ho to turn a 
knob on a device and how to multiply two numbers.

These techniques are useful by themselves, but not by the content on 
what they are trained.

The 'real thing' (the inner sanctum) is entered only, if at least a few 
levels are mastered and once to candidate has proven loyalty to the 
superior sorcerers.

Than eventually there will be a few bits of real wisdom spread sparsely 
upon the apprentices of witchcraft.
