Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

That’s pretty much it. They’re legally two people and can get certified for things independently. They both have a driver’s license for example. However, as teachers they can only teach one class at a time. It’s all just the nature of their problem. Though I will say it seems like the college probably could have worked with them a little bit given their unique situation.

Nah that’s bullshit. It’s 2 minds, two people, two workers

Two hands is the main issue, not the minds; very few business models where this is an inherent advantage.

If they got into software engineering, mathematician, etc. and actively used their two minds to scale off each other... potentially could see two paychecks; pair programming is a very common thing and having that extra pair of eyes really does improve the overall quality of the delivered product.

Throw "them" onto a sustainment team and they'll easily run the show (barring both have the skills for it).

The other question I have is... do they both share in sensation? do they both operate the limbs? or is one a talking head and the other has actual bodily control.

That plays a factor into things as well... if only one can control the body... it lowers the value even more.

If two hands is the main issue, do you get half pay for work if you only have one.

Get a new arm and join the chain.
