<p>In post #45 I said:
“…Or if not Stanford, then some other school with biology capabilities dwarfing Whitman’s.”</p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be Stanford vs. Whitman. It is inevitable that distortions will exist using your method. Someplace along the line you will (falsely IMO) conclude that a department of 10 (or so) professors is “better” than a department of 30 that has much more extensive resources in biology, simply because the school with the department of 30 has many other strong, and large, departments as well. </p>
<p>And no, I don’t mean exactly 10 or exactly 30.</p>
