I might be misremembering, but isn't Oxford's preferred teaching model similar to 1-1 tutoring? If so, doesn't that go at odds with "Average and gifted students might not benefit significantly from ML/DI"? I assume there must be some benefit.

Possibly selection bias - is there evidence that a student good enough for Oxford would get worse outcomes when attending, say, Harvard, and missing out on tutoring?
