Pay attention, Goro. Being a faculty member doesn't mean you're right 100% of the time in 100% of discussions and no one else is allowed to have an opinion. My opinion is that you're making too many assumptions about the OP and basing even more assumptions on your assumptions.
Goro is giving you a peek behind the curtain, with some actual data on the performance of bottom of the class/marginally passing students.
This is a message board. I state my opinions and others disagree.
Right, it's a message board, and free discussion is encouraged.
But all you do is post the same opinion, over and over. The whole point of free discussion is that you listen to other people and consider their perspective. When you get presented with a contrary perspective, even when that perspective is backed by fact and experience, you just continue with your dogged insistence that your uninformed opinion is correct. Or worse, imply that others are trying to stifle open discussion by pointing out that you are wrong.
