This is an old debate.
In maths examination in school, teacher told, "Not only the answer must be correct, the process of formula by which you reach the answer, will also be checked. Marks will be given if process is also correct."
Then there is a counter argument. "People do not want to know how many troubles you faced on sea. They only want to know what have you brought from your voyage. "
Two Points.
1) For people, for Family, for Friends, for onlookers, the only thing important is end result of your actions.
2) For you, for your inner conscience, for your examiner, for laws, for overall good of all, the process by which you arrived at result is also important. They will give you marks only if your process is also correct.
