Yes, I have a "terminal" degree from a decent school in a related field. As I've said, I'm very unimpressed with the vast majority of "research".

It's the uneducated and the "educated" who worship these grifters. It doesn't require an advanced degree to see through this. An advanced degree might even be an impediment.
