I answered your question, you just want me to say that engineering programs worse than Harvard’s suck too, well my guess (since I’m not familiar with all the engineering programs in the country nor do I have to be) is that most of them do.



Actually, I want you to withdraw your original statement.

But, hey, if you want to stick with your new story that all those other engineering programs suck too, I suppose you could say that too. I just hope you realize that what you’re saying is that the vast majority of engineers out there went to schools that you think “completely suck”, as only a small fraction of engineers went to schools ranked higher in engineering than Harvard. I wonder very much if you’re truly willing to voice that opinion publicly. I doubt that you’d have much of a career if you did.

Example:
You: “Hey, where did you study engineering?”
Your Coworker: “I went to Wayne State.”
You: “I see. Well, I think your school completely sucks.”

And exactly how familiar are you with Harvard’s engineering program?
