One way to think of it is that there were three filters:
With all three filters, it seemed like high AQ people would be more likely to make it through, but it was hard to estimate how strongly each filter would select for high AQ. I expected filter 1 to be the strongest (at selecting for high AQ), and filter 2 to be a bit stronger than filter 3. The data suggest that filter 3 was (if anything) very slightly stronger than filter 2, which requires some updating. But since one group went through filters 1 & 2 and the other went through filters 1 & 3, the data don't speak directly to the strength of filter 1. You're inferring that all three filters are probably relatively weak, but I don't see a good reason to conclude that about filter 1.
