I thought the relevant success metric would be whether the median student does better, in order for it to be a case against going to college.

Thiel is accountable to nobody for the results of this program. It's more of an experiment. It becomes a more powerful tool for the members if the media likes the program, and a single shining success is what the media requires.

It's not an experiment, it's a bizarre political propaganda effort in service of some chip Thiel has on his shoulder.
