Reasonable results, even if a bit schizophrenic. It looks at the claim, all the while saying that the claim, true or not, is really quite meaningless. (If it's meaningless, why spend most of the article dealing with it? Show it's irrelevant and move on.)

I'll stop there before I launch into a screed against poorly trained and irresponsible teachers.
