---Useful to poke random B.ares in the eye when they start reciting their catechism about how easy Stanford's academics are and how inflated its reputation.

Nice piece. I don't think it will achieve that goal, however. They think ordinary Stanford students get A's simply by showing up, and that students can drop classes after they fail a final. It's ludicrous to the point that they think that once students are accepted into Stanford, their academic life is no different than that of a student at a for-profit career college (Hence, my .signature)  An athlete meeting that imagined standard even in energy resources engineering a wouldn't be very impressive. Even a kal player failing in a sociology major could meet it, in their minds.

Well, if that's what it takes in assuage injured egos, so be it.
