I think people aren't asking the right question. Instead of asking "Are Khan and online learning, etc.,  worth the same as a traditional university education?" they should be asking "Are Khan and online learning, etc., plus $150,000 in the bank worth the same as a traditional university education?" I'm not saying the answer will come out differently, necessarily, but it's a rather different calculation now.
