I'm surprised a HN community member with your level of contributions would make this sort of comment. From the HN guidelines: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something." If you have a methodological issue with the analysis, that would be super interesting to share with the community! But these ad hominem fallacies detract from the thoughtful discussions that make HN a special place.

McKinsey has been indicted several times in obvious ethical issues (opoids crisis anyone) and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Do you have anything to say in their defense, rather? When a bad actor has been identified, you should assume bias instead of good faith by default. > methodological issue with the analysis You don't need to discuss at length the analytical methodology when you can see that the result is obviously false. Japan is certainly NOT the best place in the world for education.
