It's not particularly surprising that there's a higher-than-baseline success rate for a program that selects people who are already best-positioned for success.

It's not particularly surprising that there's a higher-than-baseline success rate for a program that selects people who are already best-positioned for success. Can't help but wonder what the value-add of the program is at that point.
If a billionaire instead sets up a similar program for, say, parolees and sees higher-than-baseline success, then that's something to celebrate.
