If you give a class of schoolkids a written test, and almost all the kids can't answer a specific question, then the question is too hard. Equally, if all the kids can answer a question, then the question is too simple.
If half the kids can answer a specific question, and the other kids cannot, then you have found a way to see which kids was paying attention in class or worked hard at homework... and which kids spent too much time doodling and watching TV.

The kids with bad grades will inevitably be compared to the kids with good grades. The kid with bad grades can expect (well meaning) parents and teachers to be asking why it's gone wrong. People don't just shrug their shoulders and accept a kid is destined for failure - they prefer to know why... eg maybe kid has poor eyesight and needs a visit to optician

When one airline has an extended operational meltdown and a similiar one does not... it's absolutely valid to compare and ask why there is a difference... even if the kid with bad grades prefers not to have that conversation - eg kid hates the idea of being called "four eyes" in playground for wearing glasses

I want to see Easyjet back to its old highly competent and effective existence
