I think anyone who comes out of any school thinking they know it all is wrong. But that's more a personality flaw.

On the article I think the author is off-base here and I think you as a person are exactly the reason why. Staying in school 2 more years is not a "high risk/high return" situation at all (as the author claims). It's a no risk/guaranteed return situation (MBA's make more in the workplace, that's been proven by countless studies)

The real high risk/high return folks are the ones who go out and start a business or join a startup. That's truely a risk.

Anyway, once you've disproven the idea that an MBA is a high risk action the rest of the author's thesis falls apart.

Indeed- elite MBA programs aren't higher risk higher reward than less prestigious ones. They are simply higher reward.
