There's a difference between sense and horse sense. Some of the dumbest people I've ever known had degrees from prestigious Ivy League schools.
I'll never forget when George H.W. Bush was televised going through a supermarket checkout line. He had never seen a POP scanner before. Even my brainiac cousin, PHD in inner space weather from MIT, didn't know you had to have a fishing license in order to fish in Florida (and he's a native Floridian).
My point being that many of these "elite" have no way of relating to what it's like in the "real world" so I'm not impressed with the so called educational credentials.
