<p>What makes you think that Forbes didn’t go through the same scrutiny as U.S. News before publication. ( so there is no confusion I don’t think many would consider your analysis that it is “a joke” and “lame” to be peer review.)</p>
<p>More to the point, as I said earlier, no need to rehash U.S. News’ many faults, I think we know why they don’t trouble you. On the other hand, care to guess what parents like you on the UVA or Georgetown board who are vested in this sort of thing think about the reliability of U.S. News. </p>
<p>Most revealing is that you continue to evade my question. Why is it that if Forbes is “a joke” and “utter garbage” it generally confirms U.S. News rankings for most schools. If there was nothing to Forbes as you contend there should be no similarities to the rankings. Care to explain?</p>
