No offense, but what is a PhD except proof that you actually wrote a dissertation that your advisers approved and then defended your thesis? It does not suddenly make a person smarter!
Would you like someone with a PhD in latin literature telling you how to make a helmet? Should you let a PhD in Military history who has never been in the military, and who abhors war, violence and bloodshed tell you how a Roman miles felt, or what he was thinking? I can name the PhD's I would accept as an authority on eyes on helmets without using all of my fingers to keep count!
Sometimes PhD's actually mean that someone has spent so much time in 'school' that they need help in the real world! Reminds me of the virgin with the PhD in Sex Ed. Lots of good reading, no experience. :twisted:
