I think your hypothesis is correct in that it makes intuitive sense. [1] The problem with the approach is that n=1 so regardless of the outcome it wouldn't really adequately prove the point you are trying to make. You could do the same experiment with sending 1 person to Harvard but unfortunately that's not enough to prove anything either. [1] TV does experiments that I've seen where they take a blond woman asking strangers for help vs. a brunette to discover (iirc) that blonds do get more attention (or something like that) as well as "good looking" people. Add: No surprise there.
