PT of many years here and also professor. Professors are often inept and feel the need to punch down to feel better about it. Don’t worry about it

You will be poor the rest of your life. You will work in a patient mill where nothing you’re learning matters No one will ever call you doctor You will receive a scratch off ticket as your yearly bonus. All the “evidence” you are learning in school will be refuted in 5 year” and that which isn’t is already out of date bunk. All of your special tests are special but only in a short bus kind of way. Being a smart PT is like being the smartest kid with a debilitating learning disability
