I know this is quite a controversial thing to say, but I don’t mean to offend anyone. Just fax.
Nice originality there. However, NUS does not have a presence in London and therefore you have made a failed comparison with an example that is non-existent in a feeble attempt to protect your fragile ego.

Quite ironic that you call it selection bias.

Let me give you an example so you understand what selection bias is. Are Singaporeans rich? Are the average Singaporeans richer than the average guy from Country X? Yes.

Oh but I know many rich guys from Country X. Does that change the empirical fact that the average Singaporean is equivalent to the top 10% of Country X? Nope.

Why did you select the top 10% then? Selection bias.

Second. Do successful persons from a delisted school in Country X work in Country X? Yes. Let's take your assumption that working at Firm Y in Country X is an indicator of success. Is there a reason why persons from Country A do not work at Firm Y in Country X? Yes.

This is because they don't live there you moron
