Your logic is fundamentally flawed. If the majority of consumers in this market wanted the same thing you want, then the classes offered by the for-profit schools would reflect that.

Snowball, this guy is defining what is better by what the market provides. There's no answering a tautology.

Example of a superior non-profit product:

Pacifica Radio, Democracy Now, provide more sophisticated,accurate,and unbiased news than commercial stations. It is much more intellectually serious radio.

This guy is defining what is superior by his subjective personal preferences. There's no answering a tautology.

Free market dogmatists will say that's what people want, therefore it is right. But it isn't better, as judged from the standpoint of the artform. They are defining desirable results by whether they are from free, not non-commercial markets.

I'm not sure I get this "free market/non-profit" dichotimy. Nonprofits are PART of a free market, not an alternative to it.
