I would find this criticism persuasive if my entire argument—or even a large part of it—had been, "Person goes to school xyz and is therefore an idiot." But that was not the case.

you do not have an inferior education. you busted your ass at hard elite school.

That is kind of you to say. And I did bust my ass. But my undergrad was nowhere near elite and I learned very little—and virtually nothing important. Enormous waste of time and money. If I had it to do all over again, I'd go someplace small and major in either classics, history, or physics.
