Personally, I find the 50-60% in 6 years stat rather shocking, so why embellish?
I understand that you may disagree with his sources, however that does not mean that he "embellished."
These stats refer to 2012-2013, with the webpage stating it was last updated in May 2015. This postdates his 2012 paper; These stats did not exist at the time.
This is still a misleading way to make your point and very bad journalism.
1) Sorry you found his paper misleading, for some it was clear from the first reading, this may depend, in part, on one's knowledge base and lived experiences. It may also depend on watching the video and/or reading his paper, rather than commenting prior to seeing what he has said.
2) Does he claim to be a journalist?
It is not the case that only a quarter of those who try to get a BA succeed.
Nor was that stated. Apples and oranges.
