the point is that 8200 didn't create them. Alumni did. The wording of the article tries to imply that 8200 created them and perhaps were just marketed by private companies (the only way I can understand their wording). This simply isn't true.

The point of comparing alumni of 8200 to a university was to give the more favorable reading to the concept of "product" of, but why I also dont think its a fair reading.
