The above comment, it seems, must be taken either: (1) as a joking 'Eliezer Yudkowsky fact' in the style of the post, or (2) as an attempt to state a true fact about Eliezer Yudkowsky for reasons that don't seem important.

If it was (1), I don't get it. How is this hyperbole, or funny?

If it was (2), you fail. Eliezer didn't go to high school, and thus did not drop out.

Eliezer Yudkowsky has never been married or hit a woman; he stopped beating his wife nevertheless, thank you for asking.

Remarkable! A comment without any criticism of EY, no worse than the other stupid comments in this thread, which nevertheless is strongly voted down.
