I'm going to stuff it! He fell into the trap, jubilant with my false confession that I had told a tale. He did not perceive the point of self-deprecation (self-mockery, it is something that this kind of mentally ill masters).
I do not know if you doubt it here. But I am indeed a true agricultural engineer - I say authentic because many are the agricultural technicians, the engineers in agriculture, the graduates in agronomy of the facets to usurper this title. So entered one of the great French agronomy schools (Montpellier), at the end of a competition after the preparatory classes.
And as I often say in conference: more reason to be wary of what I say. When we see where all these super-graduates of all kinds lead us, from agronomists to polytechnicians, from central to enarques ... A diploma is only an attestation of a package of knowledge, more or less well evaluated, according to Standards. E = mc² is an acquaintance (finally a formula that summarizes an acquaintance). We make bombs (and the other in Korea has done very well); we do electricity (even if it is full of questions), or we do a radiotherapy. What one does with one's knowledge - oppress or help - is ethics personal.
So I'm not particularly proud of it. But, agronomist, I am. I'm not ashamed of it either. In particular, it allowed me to meet illiterate African peasants and spend hundreds, probably thousands, of hours talking to them. They taught me a lot about "agrarian systems" ... Since then, I have never stopped reasoning "systems". I do not oppose "scientific knowledge" and "ancestral knowledge" ... Both can be traps (see my crusades against "common sense", the bad side of ancestral knowledge).
