I too am glad you brought it up, because poor Selena! I will try to do better about editing my comments in future.
All the grad students in the room, including me: Uhhhhhhh. Noted.
I mean, my big complaint about grad school at the time was that it was too easy and they needed to raise several standards, but I do gather I was in a minority*, and also complaining that school or work is too easy and/or standards are too low has pretty much been the theme of my life (minus isolated cases like "teach physics without the math background").
* Although there was the part where I heard via the grapevine there was a scandal that you could get a PhD in German Studies at UCLA without knowing German, because the German department (which I was not in, obvs) let students do everything in translation, and there was a big investigation...
