Again, you completely miss the point. The point is not that every person who graduates from college is intelligent, but that some people are so transparently unintelligent and uneducated that it is unlikely that they went to college or could even be successful if they did.
Which is pretty much a tautology not worth being said.
If your argument is that there exists at least 1 person on the planet who is too stupid to get a college education, then I guess it's convenient for you to feud through writing because it must be hard speaking your mind while breathing through your mouth.
I interpreted that as there are some people so unintelligent, that there's no way that they could have been successful at college. That doesn't equate to "only smart people graduate" because there is an entire average section in the middle of stupid and smart.
I do see how people initially have possibly mistaken the argument. For some reason, as a society, we value failure of grade school education different from failure of higher education. For example, "college drop out" doesn't have the same negative connotation as "high school drop out". If college is sooo easy, then it should equally be negative to say "I didn't go to college" as "I didn't go to high school".
It's not, because people see the difference in college and high school. What has happened is, people just don't like to be ridiculed for their higher learning or the lack there of.
