Because the promotion of a high school dropout with a criminal record to the Captain of a Starship capable of destroying entire planets is entirely without any degree of sense. You can argue about the science of the movie, the acting, so many things, but anyone with any degree of common sense should see that the promotion of Kirk is a complete pile of horse ****.
He went to the Academy just like the rest of them.
Who he was before he joined the Academy is moot.
Just like the rest of them.
And he "should" have graduated.
He didn't "cheat" the first time he took the Kobayashi Maru test. He didn't cheat the second time. Why would taking the same test (that the instructors know has no solution) multiple times count toward his final grade? The first time he took the test and failed should have been his final mark. Therefore his should have graduated with the rest of his class.
But I guess you not only forgot that Kirk was given a commendation for original thinking when he described taking the Kobayashi Maru test in Wrath of Khan... you also forgot we're not talking about JJTrek here. :lol
