The OED despite loving it so is a laymans lexicon, in research we use the term measure not judge. I have a great deal of statistical literacy there is nothing "pseudo" about it.
Ive provided several means for instance the single point criterion of the ownership model, etc, and you can find the educator model description on this forum.
Statistical - is common on non-parametric data as well as quantifiable data.
I havent employed a proof fallacy. I need to support my claims as much and no more then the oppositional needs to support their claim. They dont need to prove me wrong, and I dont need to prove their assertions that UWC is a first tier school wrong either.
You should read more closely, this isnt a measurement issue in obtaining data its how the data is tabulated, the criterion and standards are irrelevant. What matters is how the results are grouped and the divisions aggregated. To simply this the first tier is small and full, UWCSEA isnt third tier, that leaves one tier left.
The tier system existence is not subjective it exists, the methodology and means of assessing it is subjective. This is the permanency fallacy. Conceptual constructs lack substance, and cant be directly observed or measures so they should be dismissed. Love doesnt exist because its a concept, I reject that conclusion, and find it lacking in merit and unpersuasive.
Examination results are one and only one factor in a robust system. They are not the only one.
Thats not a fact again thats just your opinion, and its a very admin one, tiers dont exist because their subjective and admins dont agree on them so they dont exist. The tier structure has utility to educators, and we will keep using it.
Theres nothing Ive lost, your claim Ive lost does not make it true, not is their any data thats self evident regarding my feelings of UWC, I have none. They are a second tier school.
Your position is essentially UWCSEA is 1st tier, and if its not their are no tiers. So if you cant be a VIP member of the club, the club doesnt matter. Take your ball home if you cant play the game.

Of course I have my opinion, Im me, I dont represent an organization or other collective group or body. Im not going to substitute an outside opinion for my own because some other individual says so. Im open to argument and discussion and changing my mind, but doing so on fiat isnt going to happen.

Many people support and defend a variety of evangelists and "Tony Robins" types. Thats all UWC is. They are respected by themselves and their believers. That doesnt mean their a bad school, they arent. There is nothing wrong with being a tier 2 school. Its just their organizational ego cant handle the reality, that their are better schools out there, and they just arent one of them. Their big name is jusy big because they say so, and want it to be.
I wouldnt go to Armenia regardless of the school.
