I’m going to keep this short. I’m glad the Times is using its might to call this issue to attention and introducing data to back the obvious up, but I don’t quite get why this has remained The Big Story for more than a few hours, let alone a week - is there anyone who didn’t already think this was clearly the case? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve listened to good podcast discussions and read interesting follow-ups, but, seriously? We all saw that the Emperor was not only naked, but getting into Dartmouth at a ridiculous rate, right?
