<p>It’s certainly fine to ask informational follow-up questions in a thread. There is no need to impute personal motives to a person who is asking a question. Anyone is welcome to ask questions to clarify what is said in this thread (which I opened), and I appreciate the replies that have raised questions and have answered those. This thread does illustrate that one can only get an approximate impression of how AP courses in high school appear to colleges by mass statistics such as those linked to in the first post.</p>
