Ivy League college students are, by definition, intelligent.

Okay, stopped reading here.

While there might be some correlation between intelligence — i.e. cognitive abilities — and level of education, that's by no means "by definition". This distinction is so essential for the topic at hand I'm not wasting my time with this used e-TP, if it gets it wrong already right off the bat.

(BTW confusing intelligence with knowledge is a sign you lack both.)
