> self-styled autodidacts discount the social rounding and educational breadth available at any good university.

Yes, you learn to use words like "autodidact" instead of "self-taught."

'Self-taught' isn't exactly a drop in replacement for 'autodidact'. You'd have to say 'self-taught person' or something, which is more awkward as a phrase.
