> No one asked whether these students were really the most intelligent people. Right, it only confirmed that they met the minimum standards of the University and had graduated. It was never about "most intelligent", but merely met a minimum requirement of knowledge and intelligence. And there are plenty of people who fail to meet that requirement, but despite what they say about "college level iq", most people can pass if they work at it. After all that, the author still manages to go back to their "us vs them" thinking, too. They're still looking down on people who weren't raised like they were.
