Why are German politicians so obsessed with PhDs?

An interesting article but somewhat ignorant. At least having earneda PhD shows that the person has the intellectual capacity to master something serious and work effectively to a purpose over a considerable period. Surely that is better than electing a popular ignoramus with a concentration span less than 5 minutes?

Worth noting that the requirements for a PhD (at least in law) are far lower than elsewhere. They can be rather short and formulaic. The real academic credentials is the Habilitation, which is often longer than our PhDs.

What a thing !! .... be lettered or be educated ? and what does ‘undetected’ plagiarism say not only of the plagiarist but those who were lulled into awarding the PhD to the candidate ? Basil jide fadipe.

Wonderful!
