The logic is:
Laughing at me or my kid does not make my original statement LESS convincing.
To refresh your memory, here is what I said:
Wouldn't it make your worry that the BEST student may not be the most innovative?
Risk-taking is not something the BEST student will consider a safe route to be No. 1.
Jumping from imitation to innovation needs a quantum leap.
Laugh all your want.
