I think the part he said the pace is set for the mediocre students to be able to finish their degree made his point very clear. Then going from specific to the general. More concretely, school pace is set for below average students so if you're average or above average then you don't have to follow that same speed. Once you apply this logic to life in general you'll encounter numerous other areas where the pace is also set very low and you'll do much better if you pay no attention to it.

Most highly capable students do advanced work at university instead of just racing through and leaving. No one cares how fast you finished your degree, when you are 30. We are only reading OP article because Sivers made a website to sell CDs when the web was new, not because of his excellence as a student or as a musician. This very website exists because Paul Graham made a website ViaWeb to sell stuff on the web, not because Paul Graham was any good at making the stuff the stuff the website was selling.
