Ah this again.
I disagree but of course it's unprovable. I will add this, I was a Tweet FAIP in late 90s, when the Tone track was still relatively new. One of our DOs pulled the washout numbers back to the beginning of split tracks. The washout rate for T1s was exactly the same as the washout rate from the 38--to within a tenth of a percent or so.
FWIW my 38 IP buds often complained it was too hard to kick people out of 38s, a fact they felt was reflected in the numbers of 38 grads who subsequently washed out of IFF/FTU.
I have no idea what the numbers are now.
