What's cool about our industry is that interns can contribute a lot , on or soon after day one.

By the same turn, it's also much easier to propose and make corrections. If I discover an error in my computer graphics textbook, I'd have to...call the publisher and see if they can fix it in the next edition, I guess. Perhaps the textbook

There's nothing about Khan Academy's application (or any other customer's) that would somehow immunize it from platform-wide serving issues.
