Not long after my grumble about the seminal result of our Media of Instruction (母語教學), a report from CUHK shows that students from secondary schools that teach in English have better admission rate to the university.
Any one with an elementary training in clinical trials would spot that the control is not right and the two groups are not comparable. Why ? The 100 secondary schools that could continue to teach in English obviously were prestigious ones, and undoubtedly they had better students to start with.
This is our dilemma: when someone prove our theory with obviously erroneous methodology or logic, what are we doing to say ?
On a second thought, this is a perfect timing to announce a result of this kind: when everyone (including our government) agrees with your conclusion, they become very forgiving with your flaw.
