It's a tautological statement isn't it? "overidentifying" presupposes the effort has gone too far, so he's basically saying "what I deem as too much I believe is too much". No one would disagree with that, how could you? The real statement is, "It's possible to go too far when defending an identity." And, honestly, how could you also not agree with that?

Actually the implication is he has seen delusion at Yale, which I think is easy to disagree with, especially if you're one of the "deluded".

  That isn't the implication here, no. Overidentifying != delusional.
