Definitely. If you think about it, a teacher in the USA would simply project an image and have a cue to its purpose. On the other hand, this guy needed to completely memorize every glyph including its location and purpose. I hope he doesn't use a carriage return as a paragraph formatting technique ;)

Comment Gullability may be yours (Score 1) 162

Veritas' true gift is that of gullibility. Are the people being interviewed allowing themselves to be entrapped? Or do they have to manipulate the results to have you believe it? Either way, it is useless and requires them to have the outcome of their "investigation" before it starts.

Comment Hmmm... (Score 2) 453

I have worked on many outsourced projects. So much so, that my position transitioned from being a software developer to one who provides development support. So I do the things they can't complete. Anything from browser interaction problems to performance to security. One might think I have a jaded view - and this is something I am always assuming that I have. I have seen everything from absolute incompetence to some "diamonds in the rough".

That said, I believe the issue in India is the way the problem is approached. Rather than let the gifted students percolate out of the system (a focus on quality), they encourage everyone to enroll and encourage the institution to graduate everyone. I can't comment on the quality of the education, but I suspect it spans everywhere from decent to criminal. The institutions are not schools - they are factories.

But I still think this report is BS. Perhaps I will change my opinion when my job is transitioned to India. This is in process right now.
