Surely being "elitist" (as you put it) would mean that it is biased towards the best, in which case it
does show a person's true knowledge of the subject.
Exams are the best way to test knowledge. It's as simple as that.
What else would you use? Coursework? That's even more skewed to "more work = better mark", and in any case you can never be sure what kind of outside influences affect the end result, let alone whether the candidate wrote it themselves.
