Thus, the system of reserving most main courses to Ph.D.s, while remanding discussion to graduate assistant "section men", merely creates an expensive redundancy.

IMO, this is not merely an expensive redundancy, it's downright absurd. My college experiences were all in small classes. I can't imagine sitting in a huge room listening to a canned lecture from some genius and then not being able to ask questions. It would be a better use of the professor's time to tape the lecture or write it down for the students to read. That would free some time for him to meet with students afterwards to answer questions, even questions prescreened by grad students. Much about higher education is very inefficient and wasteful.
