Abstract
This article examines the validity and reliability of the proxy method that was previously published in the same journal and identifies a number of effects involving provincial, gender and performance imbalances. It is show that these imbalances would have remained undetected had the proxy method not been used. Implications of the findings for policy are then offered.-
