Above all, "aging" is a power in itself.
Officially, we use honorific to older persons, and hesitate to criticise them with strong tone and hard expression.

I can accept the system with small wonder.
Even if the senior student doesn't have a good activity, if it's worse case, he/she is inferior to our skill, the reason of "showing our respect for the senior looks like a good manner", is
cheaper than other ways for our society, in conclusion.
