   I'll go along with that....   
      
   But would also think that it's a pretty good indication that the   
   person's IQ is above room temperature - and that they have better   
   critical thinking skills than a non-college graduate.   
      
   OTOH, there's Ben Carson and his belief that the earth was created less   
   than 10,000 years ago and that men walked with dinosaurs.... So I guess   
   the critical thinking part is not exactly ironclad...... -)   
      
   That is not to say it works the other way.   
      
   To wit: the Amish.  Extremely low educational attainment, yet - as my #1   
   daughter-the-farmer observes "They know how money works"... and the ones   
   I have interacted with are clearly nobody's fool.
