Let me see if I understand you, Mr. Payne.

You think it's more logical that the reason philosophy majors do better (generally speaking) on grad school exams is solely because of the caliber of the student choosing the major? and not because of the education bundled along with said major?

And if this is indeed your standpoint, wouldn't it stand to reason that if these amazingly intelligent philosophy majors can do so well on grad school exams (without any prior training, mind you), that they wouldn't have any trouble applying their stellar intellectual skills to other fields just as easily?

Sounds illogical to me.
