That comment about admission to and completion of college leads to simplistic conclusions comes across as unfair. Pretty much every educated person went through such a sequence to get through college (others are educated without college, but they are tiny minority...). And plenty of us are able to understand the world has nuance.

ON your latter point, I agree that there needs to be a degree of responsibility to some software dev, but it's a complex area and I can't really organize 'blame'. What's the blame I should get for writing a better webserver that some dicator uses to serve up his orders and have people killed? Compare that to the firmware of a phone programmer, and the person who teaches a robot how to determine if someone is killed by a weapon. It's too easy to look to that last person and say without thinking that they are the bad one.
