Okay, I suppose it is really that you can not really understand what it is like to live with the problems of others unless you could somehow live a day in their life.

99% of your problem is the huge chip on your shoulder.

Wow its gone up to a first now to not be seen as a drunk?

tr3mor I was under the impression

x=>y is the same as ¬xvy so

If Phil works and fully grasps the material implies Phil will get a good grade

would be

(Phil works ^ fully grasps material) => good grade

=

¬(Phil works ^ fully grasps material) v good grade

Yeah, you're right. It's been 18 months since I sat the course. I think we're going a bit OT here though.

Yeah.

Trem is reasonably bright and Trem worked reasonably hard implies Phil resents Trem.

That does not follow.

I do not resent you and I don't want to be like you.

It is interesting though that everyone who has a go at me has a lot successful things in their lives. I just wonder if they had such a rubbish life as me if they would be so judgemental.

I use your measure of grades showing intelligence. If people with far lower A level grades than me get degrees then I am more intelligent than them on A level grade terms.

Can I just check that I've got this right? It's ok for you to use A-level grades to decide who is most intelligent, but it's not ok for universities/employers to use degree classes for the same purpose?
