Don't Believe The Hype: Prestige/Rankings In Engineering Do Not Really Matter....

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh, if you’re wrong, then of course I (or somebody else) is going to tell you that you’re wrong. Similarly, if I assert that the moon is made of green cheese, then I would expect somebody to say that I’m wrong. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Then all that means is that you are making a tautology based on the past evidence that you have seen. For example, I can just as easily say that you have never made a statement on CC in the past that the moon is made of green cheese, but what the heck does that prove? </p>

<p>Look, at the end of the day, if I disagree with somebody (i.e. regarding a mythical '80% engineering graduation rate), I am going to say so. People are then free to disagree with me, and then we can discuss it to see where the truth really lies. </p>

<p>But if you don’t want anybody to ever disagree with you at all, then may I suggest that you don’t even bother posting at all. Instead, you can just have a conversation with yourself, which could go something like this:</p>

<p>Salve1: I am the most brilliant man in the history of the world
Salve2: That is true, and you’re also the most handsome</p>
