<p>This post has no bearing on the original crux of this tread nor the “theory versus practice” cluster****, but I think this needs to be said: everybody’s gripe with “IHateUofC” was previously (and correctly) based on the premise that he was a ■■■■■ going around bashing UChicago for no apparent reason. At the point where he has started to substantiate his claims, as adversarial to the university as they are, all ad homs (like the vocational school remark) should be left at the door. To be honest this thread (and much of this forum) has devolved into a contest of who can inflate their egos the most, which isn’t really consistent with the purpose of this site. Argue the merits of X vs. Y all you want, but there is no place for disrespectful discourse on this site in my opinion.</p>
