Seems a bit supercilious doesn't it?  I'm guessing that Peter probably
doesn't include himself among those incapable of analytical thought
commensurate with this education.

Recently I came upon the following sentence, which reminded me of why I
dreamed of becoming a writer; but sadly, never achieved such exquisite
sculpture as this:

The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a
large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly
tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake
analytical thought.
