[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's got a bee in his bonnet about elite colleges. He did a whole thing about how Bowdoin sucks because their food is better than Vassar's, meaning they spent more on that than financial aid. Without, of course, doing any financial analysis of the procurement and preparation methodologies of the dining services. So he has no idea. Didn't stop him from making the correlative claim. I do find him entertaining, but his BS is no better than any other entertainment that claims complex topics are simply illustrated.[/quote] That episode of his podcast made me so mad - I still think of it to this day. Why can't you have good food AND good financial aid? Why don't we want kids eating better food? It was such a false dichotomy. Such lazy thinking!! The thing is, when he is wrong, he is really, really wrong. But sometimes I agree with him, which is when I start to wonder if he's wrong, then, too. [/quote]
