Just to anecdotally reinforce this point here, one of my acquaintances is a paranoid schizophrenic that has been taking "online courses" off and on for years. Every time I try to explain to him that he's wasting his time and money, he disagrees with me vigorously. You also have to understand that he's borderline mentally challenged, and takes new ideas very poorly, and yet it didn't set any alarm bells off when he made the "dean's list" repeatedly.
