A creative person would be driven nigh to insanity by such a program, the reasoning goes. So only uncreative types would apply.
If applying is strong evidence for being uncreative, then by Bayes, not-applying* is weak evidence for being creative.
* Such as by applying instead to a college.
A creative person with a long-term orientation might love the program because it would allow him to quickly start his life and avoid all the not-necessarily interesting work he would normally have to do in college.
