not at all i believe i understood it perfectly, the further into the education system a person gets the more receptive that person becomes. people with phds are an anomaly because because they are genuinely intelligent, and can think for themselves. no?
I understand where you are going with it, I suppose it is a variant of approach on why they are saying PHD... In this case, I feel they are saying that the (grouping) highest educated persons are taking a step back from it. For their purposes, the type doesn't seem to matter
It is not an anomaly, it is simply that an mD and PhD requires you more likely to actually be smart,or you would not get certain phDs ever. 76% of PhD recipients are not hesitant as you can see, so 3 out of 4 are still dumb
So in what* doesn't really matter.
