The Ivy league isn't teaching Dostoevsky any differently than from an 'average' school, and have a significant number of legacy and preferential admissions who wouldn't otherwise pass the academic standards that everybody else had to.
That's not the point at all though. The point is that the author is talking about how college students can't read and comprehend material, and the student refuting clearly didn't read or comprehend the material.
the aptitude of the students and general motivation is different, though.
