A PhD doesn't show that you get to the bottom of problems, but rather that you can influence, and be influenced by, group-think.

Edit:

Looks like it is still a while before my speech ban is up, so I'm pasting my response to kevingwang's response (below) here:

>To a particular degree, anyway. Convincing a University, or being published in peer-journal, for example.

>I think some are more or less ignored, though I guess I can't say that has no influence whatsoever and I'm also not sure that you can entirely avoid the influence of others.

So, the same as every other human being?
