After reading the first couple paragraphs it felt like Dan was telling stories about my life, not his, down to the detail it's almost creepy. Specifically this paragraph stood out: Back in college, there was one group of folks that, for whatever reason, stood out to me as people who really didn't understand the class material. When they talked, they said things that didn't make any sense, they were struggling in the classes and barely passing, etc. I don't remember any direct interactions but, one day, a friend of mine who also knew them remarked to me, "did you know [that group] thinks you're really dumb?". I found that really delightful and asked why. It turned out the reason was that I asked really stupid sounding questions. And that group of people, when they failed tests or scored badly, it was always the test that was "unfair". I wanted to write a blog post about this very topic for a long time, but it has now become obsolete because there's no way I could do a better job than Dan. Outstanding.
