You’re not the least bit curious who his professors and influences were at Columbia?

It’s not his grades I’m interested in, it’s who he studied under. Fine he graduated with honors, but where are any papers he authored to give insight into his thinking then?.

My issue with this line of thought is this: How many of us here think that a list of our professors at university, or reading the papers we wrote at university, would tell anyone anything substantial about who we are now and what we think?

How many of us wrote papers while at university that represented nothing more than our ability to get an A?

Or perhaps a paper that proves nothing more than that we’d been doing other things all night and wrote the paper at the last minute?

And for some of us, I bet we wrote papers that fall into both those categories. I certainly did.
