However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies. As far as health and feasibility are concerned, I strongly hold that we ought to visit doctors regularly.

Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employee.
