<p>I’m more than willing to be proved wrong. I enjoy being proved wrong. There’s always more to learn from being wrong than there is to learn from being right. What find I find adorable is that three people have managed to turn my argument, essentially that there is no reason for law school to be a graduate field of study–other than the assumption made by those who believe themselves to be correct that “maturity” somehow can be quantified as a period of 3 years–back on me, by using some reverse arrogance argument. In effect an encapsulation of all that I have said is used as a mirror, and although my tone may make me hypocritical, my stances are correct. While you may think that I perceive myself to be above others, you must admit that it is somewhat ironic that the very personality flaw you accuse me of is the very personality flaw I initially accused of causing you to have the opinion you do. Hubris is a human condition, not just a symptom of youth.</p>
<p>It’s reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s stances of “all right-thinking people agree with me, and you’re a right-thinking person”–only lacking the charm of Ronald Reagan. We are two sides of the same coin, although I suspect my side has much more to do with meritocratic ideals than yours does.</p>
<p>Since we are reveling in quotations and musings, I’ll go back to the Mark Twain well.
