As you say, it's not relevant to the debate. What's belief got to do with anything?

I think if you'd ever sat in a classroom in a comp, as a bright kid, then you would understand. Mixed ability is just dumbing down.

But where's your evidence? This isn't a faith based question. What parts of Cook's FT analysis do you dispute?

all "evidence" of grammars is based on 1950s and/or current limited number so not credible on what the effect would be now.

So then specify the reweightings you would expect based on a larger population sample. What effect would that have on FT analysis?
