primary independent
Independent philosophical review. The author explicitly defers the cognitive evidence rather than claiming that knowledge does not matter.
The propositions that content matters and that one common curriculum is required are logically separable; accepting the first does not entail the second.
That either proposition is empirically false or which alternative institutional design performs best.
Open limitation: This is a decisive inference audit, not an outcome study or complete theory of curriculum.
