I think it worked. But I will take what you saying and keep it in mind. I, personally, am in an interdisciplinary program for my PhD. I have fellow students who are only MA, other who are precocious (little fucktards) undergraduates, and even PhD students from very different disciplines.
In one instance--the topic we were working was in an American history class, but dealt quite bit with early modern Europe. Point is--my MA was European history; prof had to push me in ways she couldn't push the others b/c they didn't have the background. to not push me would have wasted my time, I think, and would not have taught me anything.
Law school - and even the Ivys when people are fighting for that .0025 difference? I understand your anger and vitriol.
