This began because the question originally was asked whether one could
demonstrate that the research based instruction produced better physicists
or engineers. But the point that there is not yet enough statistics was
completely ignored. I do not know what percentage of courses are taught
correctly using IE techniques, but from what I have seen it is very small,
probably less than a few percent. And the number of HS students who go into
either engineering or science is also probably less than a few percent. So
even if IE doubled either the quality of quantity of technical people, the
effect could not be detected.
