Can the system handle more that 1%? Would people, and even other faculty, still look at us in awe? Personally, I like the elitism.

But the top 1% will survive and even prosper. Today on the Engines of
our Ingenuity (NPR), John Leonhardt told the story of Robert Millican
who had dreadful courses in physics in both HS and college. He ended
up going into physics because the jobs came open, even though he
preferred the humanities. In the end he prospered and put some of the
final bricks into the budding quantum theory.
