Wouldn't you say the same about most MIT and Stanford grads as well? A lot of eminent people in Tech industry graduated from MIT and Stanford. But, in my experience, the reverse isn't true: graduating from those schools is usually not an indicator of eminence.

Generalizing wildly from anecdata, I'd say the only thing correlated with graduating from those schools is arrogance.
