So if what’s being said here about graduation from Harvard being highly correlated with admission to it (um… no, that’s not quite what I mean… but you know what I mean) is true, does it follow that getting into Harvard is a good signal?
Don’t expect people to be consistent or logical in how they interpret signals (also, suppose they don’t believe higher ed is pure signaling with no value—this is a legitimate out given by dspeyer—all those impressive Harvard grads they’ve seen were made impressive by the awesome Harvard teachers).
