41. Surely you realize that attending a top-tier uni

Is no guarantee of intelligence...right?

Plenty of people who attend even the best unis come out as stupid as they entered them. It's entirely possible to attend those schools and not learn a bloody thing. Plenty of them learn the material only for as long as they "need" it to get a good grade, then they flush it once they don't. This is especially true of your average legacy admits who are there to make the necessary "connections" they'll need when they take over the family corporation, but also of the types who attend not to learn, but to get the imprimatur of the elite degree to further their own ambitions.

It would terrify you to know how high a percentage of admits such idiots are to your average "elite" university...and to a good deal of "gifted and talented" programs in primary and secondary schools, as well.
