There's nothing inherently inaccurate about seeing someone constantly act like a moron, and thinking, "It's unlikely that this person was smart enough to graduate from college."
College education is almost entirely about effort and money.
Haha, no. Almost entirely about effort, yes (provided you're not simply too dumb, but that's what the SAT and ACT attempt to prevent), and money is an important factor (though between loans, grants, and scholarships, few people who would be successful in college find that they can't go at a very reasonable cost), but I'd love to know where you're living that almost everyone has the aptitude for college. Do you remember high school? Were there never people you knew weren't going to cut it in college?
No. Allegory is correct in his statement.

As for the rest of your condescending non-argument, your assessment of me means less than I can describe, but I'll give it a go. Geniuses tell me that I'm the smartest person THEY know, k? This is ****-around time for me, so it doesn't mean a lot that a handful of anonymous nobodies don't marvel at my intellect. So the way you figure, probably at least several people here must be geniuses, or maybe an alternate explanation is that I just autopilot on the forums and generally let my worst self have a good time.
You know when you tell the "special" kid that he's done a great job, and you couldn't of done this without him, so he doesn't have a tantrum and sulk even though there are flagrant errors in their work?
It's kind of like that.

Protip for your future "textual analysis," literary ability actually levels off pretty early on the IQ curve, and it's not infrequent that you can't comprehend the logical implications of what someone is saying when they are working well ahead of you. Figure also that I never pick the topic here, so yeah, sometimes I blather on about things I don't know much about, but I don't pretend otherwise either. I don't bother to judge most of you because I grant you that benefit of the doubt, but sometimes I read certain things and can't help but think that a person shouldn't be this dumb even when they're not trying.
It has already been calibrated appropriately, and is very good at determining placement in edge case scenarios where the normative value is very high or very low. The good news is you aren't an abject moron. But feel free to challenge my analysis, pick some niche subjects you are very knowledgeable on. I want to give you every chance to succeed.
