BE, I have already said this was an arbitrary benchmark that I proposed to measure myself with. Again, I never meant an educated person had to be a free thinker and pragmatic. What I said was this.." I would like to compare my views with that of other educated AND pragmatic minds and know how close I stand from the truth."

I would like my benchmark to be persons who are educated as well as pragmatic. I said this because un-educated people may not know the systematic approach to discern truth from myths.
