<p>@Slithey Tove. I’ve made the assumption of a 50/50 split to only justify my stance that even if the split is tilted towards those positing that the college attended doesn’t matter, its still a risk averse decision as I’ve have shown with my my car analogy. Look at it this way, the chances of crashing are less than 1% and yet we pay. But the truth is even if the split is tilled against me,the chances of going to a prestigious school with a pay off relative to other less prestigious schools are much much more than 1%(because if it weren’t, then the opinion is a near consensus, which it isn’t, b/c it would be something worth noting such that they would put it in the article.) Hence, its less risky. Therefore I can say that it justifies the difference in price. The difference may be more than a car with a air bag vs a car without in relative terms, but the chances of a prestigious school paying off is also more.</p>
