Why does ARRL license examination procedure preclude students from discovering what questions they got wrong on licensing tests

I got my Amateur Extra ticket some time ago. I was able to discover what my score was (the number of questions I got wrong). However, my examiner was not able to tell me specifically which questions I had answered incorrectly, and to this day it still irks me. Isn't the whole point of licensing academic, i.e., to make sure that operators are knowledgeable? I would like to have been able to go back and study on those questions where I obviously didn't have enough knowledge or might have been confused.

So why can't people who pass the test but got a few wrong learn which questions they got wrong? I am not asking for the right choice on the test, only the questions and the answers on the test, so I can go back and figure it out afterwards.
