okay but still where is the nepotism? You've commented on the general hypothetical possibility of nepotism not having been dis-proven.

Being at Stanford in and of itself is not nepotism so it's a pretty fair question to those of us who want words to mean things.

Idk anything about this person in specific but my guess is that @ferralcat is referring to "legacy students". If you search for that term alone or in combination with "Standford" you can read all about what those words mean. The words have very well-understood meanings. For example:
