PS: also, in even slightly complex tasks merely giving the correct number at the end, without the solution steps, will usually (at least in Russia and some other countries, hopefully also in the US) result in zero points. So it’s already a part of the teachers’ understanding that it’s the solution that counts together with the answer. It’s not, however, the “right answer” these particular pomo woo-woo peddlers mean.

Not usually zero points in the US, but most problems state, “Show your work,” and a failure to do so - even with a correct result - will result in a deduction.
