CNN Debate 12/1/09: "I Went to Harvard University"

I debated the Afghanistan escalation and health care with conservative David Frum on CNN's American Morning. Note at around 4:20 into the clip Frum refuses to acknowledge a Harvard University study showing 45,000 Americans die every year for lack of health care. As proof of his claim, he simply says "I went to Harvard University." The Harvard study can be found here:

Harvard's study comports with studies that report similar findings:

As far as I can see he just mispoke; in response to 'it came from Harvard, so it must be true' being evoked he intended to say something like either "I went to Harvard, trust me [their research isn't impeccable]" or "I went to Harvard, trust me [they have a left wing bias]". Now neither of these might be true, but it's not difficult to see where he was going with the otherwise random remark. He just forgot the second clause; a lot of people garble their speech when on television.

The question is... what does having gone to Harvard have to do with whether a survey done there is correct or not?

harvard is a country club for aristocrats. Its not about what you know, its who you know. Harvard can "lick my tip." I wouldn't choose to go there if they begged me. (Unless it was all free lulz)
