    There are practical matters, some quite controversial, that you aren’t considering. Demographics count for a lot.

    Not everywhere, I guess. The advisor needs to show good numbers to the stakeholders board, after all

      I think that’s on the entrance selection committee, not the supervisor. (Although they are probably part of that committee)

        I don’t know for sure, but my advisor used to worry about the amount of successful PhD graduates, because of the department quota, iirc

      Yes. Short term easy passes come at the expense of sacrificing long term reputation.
