When I was a grad student at MIT, I was teaching a lab course. I had an
MIT undergraduate who could not operate a yard stick! He was a physics
major. There were quite a few students at MIT who were really bright,
but didn't have a lick of sense or real world experience.

Several years later we had an MIT EE _grad_ student in my lab working on
his thesis. He wanted to build something for home with an LED. When he
started asking questions about how to do this, it became apparent that he
was a bit fuzzy on things like how many volts an LED required, what comes
out of a wall socket, ac vs dc, etc. It was scary.

I love people who are educated beyond their capacity.

And many try to get an education but instead get indoctrination, that's how
we get liberals. :-)
