I was staying out of this nonsense, since I've long ago determined that no one 
will convince Arne of something he doesn't want to acknowledge.  But this gem ..

When my son was ready to go to college, he asked me, what job(s) should I learn? 
  I told him he was not going to college to learn a job.  That he was going to 
college to expand his horizons, to learn to think, and to question.  That is the 
true job of higher education, to teach young people that the world is a bit 
wider than what they knew growing up.  To be able to think for themselves.  As 
an example, he came home one day and declared "the only difference between 
Christianity and today's cults is that Christianity is 2000 years old."  Now I'm 
sure that came from some know-it-all professor, but, the key was that my son was 
exposed to a new concept, and then had to think about it.

Higher education is only as good as those at the point of contact, the 
professors, and they are only human, with their egos, their concepts, and the 
self assurance that they are the pinnacle of human evolution.  All too often 
their students accept that concept.
