You are all wizards, though, I take it.

Yes.

True story: Freeman Dyson, one of the most important and famous physicists of the 20th century, has no academic degrees aside from a BA in mathematics. Supposedly his friends would often tease him about it, and he eventually became one of the foremost critics of the PhD system.

But that was just a prank by Ben Franklin.

It's not mutually exclusive. Just like gun manufacturers do probably strongly believe in the right to bear arms (otherwise they wouldn't be in that business) but also have a strong profit motive for ridiculous fear mongering.

This hu-mon concept of "love" makes you weak!

No, you should see how fat the real you is. The simulation has limits, man.

Yup, and they always intercut a final countdown with all the contestants finishing plating their dishes. The implication being that every contestant in every challenge is within 5 seconds of not finishing on time. You'd think maybe once someone would have 1 minute to spare!

Oh yes, this.
