> If the claim had been "American universities are better able to drain talent and fund research", I'd agree. In terms of educational quality, it's questionable

Education quality at most top universities is middling, they’re designed for smart people who will reach for knowledge. Being around the best people drained from around the world provides fertile ground for that.

Yes but there's two parts to this: the teachers and the students. The student body in top American universities (especially undergrad) wouldn't even make the wait-list in a fair number of European schools.
