Then I bieleve the argument still stands. Universities would teach knowledge better if they spent a comparatively tiny amount of time teaching appropriate skills, as it would get students ready to learn. The author demonstrated this point by showing how his classes could help students learn better. We can then debate about whether having successful students is a positive thing to have for universities, but Dan Luu clearly seems to think it is.

That's a valid additional point. I'd also say that they should at least offer optional courses with skills. That also applies to language. While universities don't offer a major in English speaking/writing, many have opportunities for second language learners to improve their English skills.
