The wasting time argument is nonsense too its not like they did this thousands of times and beside that, reviewing a intentional bad code is not wasting time is just as productive as reviewing "good" code and together with the patch-patch it should be even more valuable work. It not only or adds a patch it also make the reviewer better.
Yeah it aint fun if people trick you or point out you did not succeed in what you tried to do. But instead of playing the victim an play the unethical human experiment card maybe focus on improving.
