You are missing the point here.

The claims of the MBA education is extraordinary. They claim that this will give you an edge on everyone else. It's not just a normal business education.

That's the measurement here.

With regards to how the world truly works.

The world truly works in many different ways depending on who you are, where you live and what you do.

Did you learn how africans on the savannah live? How un-educated people in the Bronx live? How people without jobs get social security. Did you learn what a person who get cancer thinks or what someone who get their family killed feels?

What you learned was how the world looks like through the eyes of an MBA, but you have not learned anything about the real world any more than someone living on the streets learn about the real world.

If anything you are abstracted far far away from reality.
