      you:

      True but you need to know more than someone who only has a GED is going to know about macroeconomics and diplomacy.

      me:

      A degree doesn’t prove a person actually applied themselves and absorbed the information, and auto-didacts can absolutely study macroecon and diplomacy.

      The topic started about Swift, but your claim was bigger than her. Thus my response was to your larger claim, not about Swift.
