"Diploma" is just a "gingoism" today..........The requirement is a joke, as is the notion that because someone has one he is in fact educated.

Conversely, the assumption that because someone doesn't have one he isn't educated, is equally ludicrous.

If I ever got anything out of Psych 1 it was the "Fundamental Attribution Error.".....Most people don't discuss this, because the finger points back at themselves.

I never assume one is knowledgeable no matter how educated s/he is. However, when cranks start dispensing self taught "knowledge" barely rational I will take a pass. Not saying that about anything we have discussed.

I pretty much assume very few people know very much about anything. Degrees or no.
