NO, Wrong Again!!

"In 1982 (that's 21 years ago, folks), there was a short-lived version of Bears' Guide called 'How to Earn an American University Degree Without ever going to America.'

It was similar to the present Bears' Guide Books: 95% of the space devoted to schools with recognized accreditation, and about 5% devoted to unaccredited schools that were operating with proper licensing."
--John Bear--AED--May 6, 2003

John was arguing with a guy, as usual, and wanted to show how he had actually not shown but a handful of unaccredited schools in his guides, hence 5%.

WELL, actually the 2003 Bears' guide...15th Edition, had 137 pages of accredited and unaccredited schools listed.  Of those 88 pages were about accredited schools or 64%, and 49 pages were about unaccredited schools or 36%. Now I don't know about you, but there is a pretty big difference between 5% and 36%. In fact John hyped the unaccredited schools much more than he now claims, and, we all know it. It also shows how he will use phoney numbers to win a point. During his AED days the gang would always rush in and defend anything he said, right or wrong. I guess with that type of protection he never had to worry about the stories being true/accurate. Just say it and throw it out and let the gang attack the guy trying to say John had pushed unaccredited schools, and pushed them hard, which of course, he did. The past is what it is, not what we try to make it. A large portion of the guides were about unaccredited schools. He wanted to appeal to the widest possible market, and, that included many people interested in unaccredited schools. Now he may not want to remember but that's just too bad. Because we do remember, and it's our job to help him remember where much of the money from the guides came from. Hint: people who were interested in the state licensed schools.
