that an advanced degree in some area of natural science confers the ability to pontificate wisely on any and all subjects
If Hollywood actors and DC politicians can pontificate on any and all subjects, so why not scientists?
They can - but you missed the word after “pontificate” in the quoted sentence.
Anyone can pontificate on any subject - but not all of us can do so wisely.

That’s why this thread needs me. ;-)
