I graduated in the early 2000's, and no one ever cared about any one else's grades or smarts. The people who got low grades didn't care about grades, or just joked about how low they could get their GPA. Those with a high GPA never caught flak for it.

If someone were to invent a box that produced free power with no environmental impact I think you would be surprised at the number of people that would complain about how it should be made illegal because...

I would "magically" gain a disability. How about test anxiety disorder? That's easy to fake.
