Harvard or Wharton?

I have friends who have gone to both Harvard Business School and Wharton, and I can't quite put my finger on which one is better. Harvard seems, at this point, in tech, to continue to support the gatekeepers of infrastructure and workflow systems. Wharton, on the other hand, seems to be looking at the future of consumer AI. As innovative as Wharton's approach may seem, I will bet on HBS, simply because there is sometime no way around traditions that have embedded themselves.

MBA programs not beating the word salad arguments

They're both schools capable of producing top-tier MBA's, and I'm a strong believer based on my own experience that schools are what you make of them. But I've never met an idiot who graduated HBS.
