I don't agree with your second post much, and that post by Noah Bradley really irritated me. He pushes his self important opinionated views as if it is gospel. He isn't a brilliant painter either, but he is a very good self marketer, that's for sure.
I mean obviously you are doing a tongue in cheek rant aimed at self teachers, and I really appreciate the sentiment, but I am just dubious about this type of one size fits all shoe that is getting chucked around with respect to the often serious choice of choosing to go to school or not and feel it doesn't really inform younger kids who read this and might not know any better examine the situation more rationally. You know, once on the net, always on the net.
I didn't go to art school, but I know there is a lot that going to a good school (emphasis on good) can do for you, and it's more than networking. I don't want to start a debate, just wanted to make that point. I love the idea of these rants though perhaps a bit high on the condescending factor. Just my opinion, not suggesting you change or anything.
