But Peter, what else can they mean when they say "best value" other than

Well, I think, and have always thought, that there is something very
wrong with including the cost in evaluating of the quality of education
at a college. It is like judging the literary quality of , say, a novel
by its price and/or the number of pages one gets for the price, or
judging the quality of a marriage by how lavish had been the wedding
party, or how much money the bride brought to the new family.
I know, I know, I am old-fashioned, but I remain unrepentant..
