Yep, when you consider points 1-3 (plus filtering for some intelligence), the schools could basically just have you memorize Pokemon esoterica all day, and it would still look like a "great education".

In that case, college's apologists would still give the same rationalizations about "Pokemon dynamics teach you how to learn, and give you a broader view of the world, and the Pokemon evolution system helps you better structure your thoughts for clear communication, which is obviously why it improves your earnings and is a must-have for being a well-rounded individual who doesn't just fix toilets all day".
