Wolf,
It is gratuitous because is assumes the reason is because they went to a Yeshiva. There are always people who do bad things. In spite of the best Yeshiva education. Look at Nick Molester as an example. His failures and evil acts are in spite of Yeshiva not because of Yeshiva.
The purpose of this thread is to highlight those who excelled in Torah despite getting a later start that their peers may have. And it’s recognition of their prodigious efforts.
That is why your comment is inane and gratuitous.
