Sorry, I don't think I'm understanding your point. Are you saying that education is analogous to "Arsenic and Old Lace"? That it's better when it's performed by incompetent people than when it's performed by competent ones?

There is no deep point, other than that throwing more resources at a production doesn't always make it better. (Consider the film adaptations of various stage musicals - many excellent stage musicals have made mediocre movies.) Mostly, though, I'm just a compulsive nitpicker. ;)
