I'm not going to say "humanities is for dumdums xD" but you artsfags should honestly feel extremely lucky that you can make shit up and still pass.

I am also fine with this.

I put in the hours for topics I care about. The ones I don't, I just wing it and spend my time reading other stuff.

Most people find the humanities more interesting than the sciences so it is easier to learn something that is more interesting. Science is just the repetition of certain things so that all experiments have exactly the same results. Humanities are more nuanced. They just work out different aspects of the brain. I think humanities is probably more natural to our evolution too.
