I can assure you that this is, indeed, amateur hour.

This one happens about once a year. A student submits an email with a bad file. It sits at the bottom of my "to grade" priority list for as long as it takes me to get to. And then I reply and assume a good faith mistake even if I know better. They sit on that reply for a day or so while they complete the assignment and then get back to me with "Oh no. I'm so sorry I screwed that up. Please let me know if this file works."
I appreciate that hustle because everybody respects each others' intelligence. This guy is breaking the written rules AND the unwritten ones.
