Compared to doing the reading, completing assignments, and doing projects? Yes, it's trivial. I got A's in plenty of classes where I only showed up to take exams and turn in assignments.
You can always get notes from friends if you really need them. I am the one accountable for my grade. If I feel I am understanding things well and can miss a class here and there, but still perform well on the exam my ego-driven professor shouldn't change my grade because of it.

Second, policies are routinely discussed first thing at the first class period. If you disagree with the policies, you are free to drop the class. You call it a god complex, I call it expecting good manners.

Refer to what I said about times when there is one class offerred and its required. Also, I took great care in selecting the schedule that works around my personal and work live. I couldn't go dropping classes because the professor has moronic policies.
The 'learning process' is grossly overrated. Life is full of distractions. A hot girl with a low cut shirt can distract me a hell of a lot more than a couple people shuffling around. If someone can't tune those out they have bigger problems.
