Subject: RE: BS: Is Academic authority a lie?
Reading some of these responses is very rewarding since I had no idea other folks noticed the same things as I do. Very beautiful the little Poem 'Rain'. It should be a song :0). *Dave the Gnome*...

I notice everyone seems to think that intelligence is separate from education, I wonder? Second the pretentious use of the word Doctor in the title used by holders(boasters?) of the Ph D, no comment?

For fun have you ever witnessed the laughter when a crowd is asked 'is there a Doctor here' when somebody offers 'Me, but mine is Educational'

Finaly when a person claims to be a Doctor of Philosophy should they be required to solve just one mathematical problem so that we may have something useful to praise, and not a hollow empty void of English critic's parroting - even the BBC would be bored with it! - that is offered in an endless, breathless, avalanche of twaddle that informs us of nothing and confuses about we already know?
