Then somewhere Dr. pointed out that there was a reason why the drop out rate from PhD programs was so high( read that it's intellectually challenging-which it is, although again every stage of education and indeed life has it's own intellectual challenges),at which point I begged to differ(the last time I checked, that phrase is used when you want to disagree politely), saying that dropping out is not necessarily as a result of being intellectually incapable of handling stuff. It could be, no doubt, but not necessarily.
That was it.
And look what happened.
Like Doc said, this is, indeed, an asinine argument.
(I checked the meaning in the MSWord thesaurus. It means silly, dim, unintelligent, stupid, etc. I usually don't mind doing my homework).
