grading in a first course in analysιs is like editing student essays in a writing composition class.
prοofs are kin to essays, and illogical arguments being essays which don't actually address the intended topic of composition.
i think both cases use a comparable amount of red ink.

actually, it's an undergraduate class. the course is called "introduction to the theοry of 1-varιable calculu∫" but it seems like basis analysιs to me.
analogies between analogies, eh?
