That's fair -- my first instinct was to say, what on earth, it does so apply, and then I tried to think why it wouldn't. But I agree, she should have kept her mouth shut.

The show's been vague about Sam's Stanford years/summers, but I think I'm also just reacting against widespread fannish inaccuracies re: his whole deal with being an aspiring lawyer. For an undergrad to grasp the concept of when privilege does and doesn't apply, I'm sort of "hmmm" about that. But I could see him taking courses like yours.

Thanks for letting me argue at you. ;-)
