It is not that you must have a PhD to push the boundaries of knowledge, it is that you must push the boundaries of knowledge to get a PhD, by definition. Nobody claimed otherwise here.

You are right about that - I merely wanted to highlight that there are always other avenues of enlarging the sum of human knowledge. Investing your mental resources into a PhD is only one path a person can choose in order to strive reaching that goal.
That is what I love about HN - Comments are dissected in a constructive manner.
