<p>Hax0rz, I never said that you couldn’t point out weaknesses in Forbes methodology, just as many have pointed out flaws in U.S. News methodolgy. Again my point isn’t to bash Wash U. or U.S. News. I only took exception to the broadsides against Forbes which are clearly based on its rating of Wash U. To get to the bottom line HaxOrz, I don’t know if you share Jazzymom’s wholesale rejection of Forbes, but if you do, perhaps you can explain why it for the most part mirrors U.S. News rankings. I don’t know why Wash U. didn’t do so well under Forbes criteria, but I do know that the criteria is not completely worthless. It is statistically impossible for it to have come up with the results that it did if its criteria was completely unreliable.</p>
