Why would you want that? Khan academy has tons and tons of data on what is effective. They can (and I hope they do) run statistical test to figure out what the best method of teaching is, what works and what doesn't.

Involving humans, even experienced once, just bring in all kinds of crazy, irrational, beliefs about what works and what doesn't.

It sounds mean and dismissive, but it's a point that's been proven over and over again. Thanks for saying it.
