I'd rather prefer it if the admissions process didn't "weed out" people who are intimidated by authority.

- randallsquared 14y agoYou see "not intimidated by authority"; I see "asinine". Part of the point, actually, was that "nemesis" didn't know that the fellow was an authority on the topic. Maybe if he had, he would have been intimidated. ;)
- briandear 14y agoSocial grace and self confidence are not mutually exclusive.
- morsch 14y agoDid I imply otherwise? That said, I think socially ungraceful people should have access to higher education, too, and we'd be a much poorer world if they hadn't had so in the past. Especially (but not just) because social grace strikes me as a arbitrary and moving point on an arbitrary and moving scale.
