Maybe you have too much faith in the perfect moral world that you seem to believe university lecturers live in.
It's been my experience that some (emphasis on "some") lecturers use the excuse of prerequisites as a facade, behind which their real reason is that they can't be bothered making that extra effort to ensure waiving the prerequisites isn't a problem for the student, nor that they need to spend a bit of unpaid time supervising the progress of a project for the benefit of a student.
Of course, this could just be the case at my home university alone.
But I doubt it.
But for your sake, I do hope that Sydney University is indeed the student-supervisor utopia, an ethical haven, which you probably envisage in your head.
