sakky -- your many paragraphs do not adduce any arguments. you just repeatedly assert that people at MIT and Caltech are motivated mainly by money, but you're wrong. no matter what their parents think, many of the best students at MIT and caltech genuinely care about becoming great thinkers, and would gladly give up a high-paying job for that.

rigor does matter from a real-world point of view, just not in the blinkered view of it that you have. don't write two more pages .just do a survey.
