The only experience I had with the Singularity University is an exec at a client of mine who -- after studying there -- told everyone his company needed a moonshot. His idea of a moonshot was simply "triple profits by next year" by telling people they needed to believe it was possible. So yeah, he probably did not grasp what he was taught, but then again, you'd expect a self-proclaimed university to teach its students better than that. To me, the Singularity University's target audience seems to be execs who need to convince others they are capable of developing a vision.
