I am not sure who this was directed at:
I'm not sure what the definition of "very limited scope on this forum" is since my DATA came directly from the STATS that Admissions is reporting. So the trends that I was reporting was all based on FACT, not FICTION. I also stand behind these numbers since there are way more than ~3,000 nomination sources (it's something around ~6,500-7,000). I'd also agree with the poster who said it would be discriminatory to qualify certain candidates only, so increasing the number is a way behind this door (and WP was inferring this earlier on).
As far as NAPS/Foundation is concerned, Admissions Board makes recommendations for these candidates -- I'm pretty sure there is no WPM that the board considers, it's likely more on the specific facts of each candidate. Additionally, I have been explained that NAPS is EITHER for candidates who aren't just there academically OR in leadership skills -- however, it isn't normally for a lack of both.
It is a joke to attempt to figure trends from the very limited scope as presented on this forum
