Do people in general take these ratings seriously?
They seem clearly bogus in that they're by English-speaking press and happen to rate all the English-speaking universities top.
And if they're dumb in that way, probably they're dumb in other ways I haven't thought of too, right?
Is there some real signal in there?

- GlennS 6y agoI didn't notice that. I was grouping it together with the Times/Economist/whoever else rankings. It does make my criticism irrelevant in this case, good point.
