I dont believe a degree to the god-like level that you do, you mean. Especially in an opinion.

I have seen rafts of people with much much much much (you get the drift, right?) higher levels of education than a masters of policy from Columbia be dead wrong in opinions. Comes as part of what I have done professionally. Funny that.

You seemingly are saying a fing masters from Columbia confers the answer to life, the universe, and everything and has buttloads of credence all contained within a buzzfeed article. Good for you. On an opinion to boot. You want to defend this dude to the death grip on his opinion -- good for you as well, son. Whatever blows your hair back.


To me, it is an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. Clear enough for you not to twist, lad?

Now getting back to your fing absolutely overbroad statement. Please do tell where I have noted that I unequivocally '[do] not believ[e] a degree confers expertise'. It may, or it may not. But please do state any unequivocal statement that I '[do] not believ[e] a degree confers expertise'.

On a sidenote, that statement is kind of rich coming from the squawk you laid out just today about 'making someone defend a position they haven't taken.' You never cease to surprise me lad.
