in my humble opinion such a tactic just makes the rosh yeshivos look out of touch to their talmidim. One should not deny the reality that such things are enjoyable even if they are a waste of time. These tactics may have worked with the previous dor (although I doubt it) they most definitely do not work with the present one. One does not need to engage in sophistry to make a point. My rosh yeshiva never did.
