He just made that up.

I'm quite sure that's not true. I was aware of the problem decades ago, back before he was old enough to have made it up.

It makes much more sense to dispense with the analogy and the idea of signaling and speak directly to the subject at hand. Is it good for society to invest in mass education. Yes, it is, in spades.

Nobody is saying that mass education is not good for society. It's a matter of which kind of education for which people paid for by whom. Figuring that out requires economists, not dreamers.
