Tricky punctuation, caffe. So, one can assume the "Harvard graduate" isn't necessarily a scientist. And if he/she is, how do I put this politely... SO WHAT?

I think we can safely classify "Harvard" as one of those words, like science, that changes meaning with context. Ninety-nine percent of the time when a FReeper uses the word Harvard, it's a pejorative. But when a creationist has a Harvard relative, it's suddenly the cream of the crop. Maybe he/she even took Gould's course.

So true. As an Ivy leaguer myself, I often find joy reminding them that our fine President went to Yale AND Harvard.
