Oh yeah, all those would be allowed. The idea isn't "ignore all things that have any branding effects" it's "ignore this one thing (college degrees) that is especially costly for people, in both $ and opportunity cost, and has an especially low ratio of value-to-branding signal"

That's a very interesting abstract criterion for exclusion: "low ratio of value-to-branding signal".
