I state when I am making a guess. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a guess, as long as you point out the specific parts of your conclusion which are based on assumptions, and which have to be changed based on incorrect assumptions.
So, of the 3 people referenced, 2 did not attend college and are making "assumptions" about how college was "back when" without having been there then or now. I would like to point out that they do NOT state these are guesses or assumptions, but rather the truth in their mind. This is a failing.
As for you, the outlier who apparently went to college and is certain it is dumber now than it was when you went. Perhaps we need to explore this. When did you attend college? What sort of college was this (state vs private)? what was your major? Did you major involve statistics?... that last one might be important.
