Academics does NOT EQUAL intelligence.
“Academics does NOT EQUAL intelligence.”
Very true. I recently selected a guy to present at a conference as the credentials behind his name included MD & PhD at a major university and his list of credentials behind his name was longer than most academics biography. He was not just an MD and PhD in Psychiatry, but had over a dozen Board Certifications... which don’t come easy.
The guy was terrible, both as a presenter and sound evidence based medicine. I’ll never invite him back.
