I think you are correct with your assumptions. But I think he needs to explain himself in this department. I didn't think it added any value to his post since it is unsupported. Maybe he could have quoted his GPA, or IQ[still dubious]. I think most people don't put their trust in numbers either way, they go for what did you accomplished[especially VC, they want to know the numbers behind your financial efforts]. I was quite surprised at how hard some of the other posters judged his "big picture" evaluation. I think maybe he has a problem with acting not thinking. I think he knows what to do, but just simply not doing it.
