And therein lies the rub -- along with the reason Notre Dame is Notre Dame and Stanford is, well, not Notre Dame. Look at this board full of apologists and the way they chide anybody deemed excessively critical of St. David. Shame, that. ND and Stanford were equals very recently.

"This is real!"  I was clueless. But I Don't Get Fooled Again.
