Reminds me of an old joke about French engineering schools that are, in decreasing prestige order, Polytechnique, Centrale, and Art & Metiers (the latter being otherwise known for the down-to-earth capabilities of its students).
* If you are from Polytechnique, your bridge crumbles down, but you know why
* If you are from Centrale, your bridge crumbles down, and you don't know why
* If you are from A&M, your bridge stands, and you don't know why
And I graduated from a school in the Centrale group
