I'm not sure how the author researched the topic or if he's even right about how the SEALs do it. But it's notable that "quantitatively measured performance" is only part of the equation to the SEALs. And therefore, what if.... SA/ROTC/OTC/etc Admissions has some lesser-known, maybe even secret metric that tracks some of the softer skills that really matter?
Conclusion: Admissions knows what they are doing. And they know more about what it takes than we do. That's not easy to take, but it's not wrong.
