I believe, and so it's even... didn't Malcolm... didn't Malcolm Gladwell write something which was roughly the equivalent of like you're better off getting the top 10 student at a non-Ivy versus like the 50th student at an Ivy or something? I don't know; there was like something like maybe it was like a chapter?

One of the hosts, Jason Calacanis, refers to a concept discussed in Malcolm Gladwell's work, particularly mentioning how a top student from a non-Ivy League school might outperform a mediocre student from an Ivy League institution.

The mention is not a direct review but a casual reference in a broader conversation about educational performance.
