Dude you went to MIT? That's rad. EDIT: why downvote someone for complimenting them on their top schooling?

Because it is noise (do you really think that either the poster or the rest of HN need to hear that you are impressed by MIT?), and also because it isn't even stated that he did go to MIT.

Of course they don't need to hear that; it's pretty much a given. Their superiority is well-established at this point.
