Perhaps you've missed my point: a degree from a prestigious university is no actual proof you had any appropriate or useful “book lernin”. It means you have a checkbook and could pass a test. Little more.

I was afraid that it was your point, actually. You appear to be arguing that Paulson claims in his book (that I haven't read) that people should listen to him because he graduated from an Ivy League School.

I should add that no one that I can see is doing anything of the kind, much less Paulson himself, but there is no shortage of people arguing that we should not listen to him for the same reason.

“I was afraid that it was your point, actually. You appear to be arguing that Paulson claims in his book (that I haven't read) that people should listen to him because he graduated from an Ivy League School.”

I presume that he thinks people should listen to him because he was SecTreas. I was replying to your “don't need no book lernin’” line.

“I should add that no one that I can see is doing anything of the kind, much less Paulson himself, but there is no shortage of people arguing that we should not listen to him for the same reason.”

Best I can tell, he's a liar and a thief, albeit “legally”. So, that is one reason not to listen to him. Perhaps, after the audit, he'll be indicted.
