Well i think you misunderstood the analogy. let me try to explain a bit.
What he means to say is that a Suit is one thing most high earning people HAVE. But they are not necessarily earning high BECAUSE of the suit. "The suit doesn't make the man". But if hypothetically people were ingrained with the idea that it's the SUIT that sets your value! Then of course things would get out of hand like he said.
Now let's look at college. Most really talented and smart people go to college. And then later they excel in their careers. So what is really the COLLEGE due to which they were awesome? Or just like the suits, was it simply a matter of Highly talented people going to college? Now since all of us have been taught that it's the COLLEGE that makes who you are, the education industry in this weird state.
