For such a lengthy article, it was surprisingly limited in it’s scope.
What you just described was apparently not even considered as a likely factor in the reduced enrollment.
The article was about 3X longer than it had to be and tended to repeat its own message a couple of times.
Thanks for at least letting me know I am not completely alone in seeing the “emperor” has no clothes.
Most days anymore I feel like I am hallucinating in seeing so many things differently than the mainstream.
