re: #82 rightymouse

For too many, unfortunately, PhD translates into “Piled Higher and Deeper”.

But it used to be that the hard sciences were immune to this kind of thing…you couldn’t get a doctorate in something like molecular biology if you were an idiot. Either they kept her and passed her along because of fear of a lawsuit (based upon her diagnosis as learning disabled or upon threats from fundamentalist nuts) or because the po-modern movement has infiltrated even the “real” sciences.l

Whatever the explanation, I’m shocked.
