The implicit definition here is that "learning"="gain on FCI" and thus
that is how the effectiveness of all teaching must be judged. This is
surely debatable. But in any case, I don't think that Bill Gates meant to
say: "Boy, if I had only seen those lectures, my FCI score would have
skyrocketed!". Lectures can inspire, and entertain, they can guide, they
can lay the groundwork for the individual study that must follow, or they
can bore, intimidate and overwhelm. So many variables to this vast
undertaking, hard to reduce to a meaningful single factor -- FCI gain or
any other.
