And you define substance not by content but the number of grammatical errors and sophistication of English used? Who is the one valuing presentation over substance? :-)

The last time I checked, the 10th percentile A lvl grades of my course grants immediate entry into over 80% of local uni courses. If my course mates and I have to compete with even less academically inclined students on exams, you can be assured that most of us will be at the right end of the bell curve. :-)
