Gee. I guess you should have informed Bill Gates, Steve Jobs
Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, James Cameron, Mark Zuckerberg,
Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Lady Gaga and Tiger Woods (among others) that
none of them were really qualified to be successful in their respective
careers. None are/were college graduates.
You are a classic example of an academic. The schools you attended and
the classes you took are more important to you than what you later
achieved with the introduction of knowledge they provided you.
To listen to Harry you would think he was a PHD from Harvard. He is
certainly making a lot of smoke over a half century old BA from a
university ranked down in the 3 digit category and probably best known
for a fairly good basketball team but we never heard he played.
I am waiting for the "Scary Harry, power forward" stories.
The funny thing is that while the school had a good basketball team, not
great, while I was there, the field house was always referred to as "the
house that Wilt (Chamberlain) built" years after he was gone. The
football team was also not Top 10, even with the redoubtable Gale
Sayers.
