Your parody detector is broken. Michael Lewis didn't go to Yale, either...

Seriously, did you read the commencement speech? Makes it pretty clear which school he attended and which bank he worked at.

"parody detector is broken"

No it's not.

See from my above comment:

"Or maybe it was this which they saw as factually incorrect: "Luck may have put Michael Lewis at Goldman Sachs, but luck didn't determine his level of success."

The Bloomberg article you linked to as evidence was satire.
that was satire. he only worked at Salomon.
