Note that the praise was not especially earnest.

    Attending prestigious does not inherently make him well educated. Especially when one of the professors says you are, and I quote, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”.

      “Well educated” in the sense that he got an education in prestigious places, not that he was a good student. The worst doctor to come out of Johns Hopkins is not going to be a good doctor because of it.

      It does in fact make him “well educated.” He’s not smart, learned, well-read, or thoughtful. It’s just a fact, it’s not something that can be debated. No one with a community college degree will ever be well educated and no one with an Ivy League degree will ever not be well educated.
