<p>You did nothing to actually refute the argument I put forward except for restating your premise that Ph.d production is a good measure for determining educational quality. I said it once and I’ll say it again - no, it isn’t. We see schools that most of us clearly consider stronger academic schools having worse Ph.d production numbers than less institutions. Let me pose a few more questions for you:</p>
<p>Oberlin produces more Ph.d’s than any of the ivies. Is oberlin a better institution than all of the ivies?</p>
<p>Beloit produces more Ph.d’s than Colby. Is Beloit a better school than Colby?</p>
<p>Knox produces more Ph.d’s than Dartmouth. Is Knox a better school?</p>
