No, that's actually what he said
"oftentimes i don't tell people where i went to school because i don't want to automatically be viewed as a snob on first impressions."
- scott_s 17y agoNot wanting to be viewed as a snob is different than wanting to avoid high expectations. I tried to illustrate that point with my example with BJJ.
- elblanco 17y agoEither way, if either is a problem for him, he shouldn't have gone to a top school. A better example, using BJJ, is: "What martial art do you study?" "It's Brazilian." "Oh Capoeira?" "Something like that." "I heard it's not very good in a fight." "Well it's not Capoeira, it's more practical." "Vale Tudo?" "Yeah, kinda like that." "No really, what is it?" "BJJ." "Oh, then you must be a really good fighter! I heard BJJ wins like all the UFCs."
