I disagree with the PhD statement made by the original poster. I am a college-dropout and dont think that PhD means jack shit. I interpreted it as "highly specialized knowledge" rather than a piece of paper. if the original author meant the actual academic pursuit then he is just whacked in the head!

If you don't think a PhD means anything, then you're wrong.

Could mean something, might mean everything, might mean nothing, might be completely wrong... everything depends on context and perspective.
