Like any good physics teacher, I will only suggest an answer.

If a similar criterion were applied to math teachers, there would be
few good ones: T&P driven by student "evaluations" has seen to that.
One needs above-average scores to progress, and it is nearly impossible
to do it with that attitude today.
So, are there many good physics teachers by that standard? How about
outside the elite schools?

I am proud to advise you that my co-author of "Conceptual
Calculus", who is on the math faculty at UIC tells me that he
follows the same precept.
He is, of course, a copy addresse of this posting.
UIC may be unique; the math faculty is familiar with Arons.
