...who, will?

Whoever or whatever is grading the test, if their own
subjectivity is to be relied upon, needs some knowledge
of the domain.  (Grading without such knowledge only
seems possible for objective tests.)  Are you
sufficiently knowledgeable in all fields?

Further, do you have the time to grade a million tests
this way each day?  Subjectivity is notoriously hard to
automate, and whether or not it's right or should be
that way, the reality is that education is done on the
cheap, with resulting extremely limited resources, and
that's unlikely to change soon.
