Shaq has observed far more of the plane than most anyone.
Certainly, anyone posting here.
Incorrect. Those of us (myself among them) who served in the Navy have observed more of the GLOBE than he. And by "observed" of course I mean "conducted observations with our own eyes, observations that had real world consequences for navigation of billions of dollars of naval vessel" not whatever the 360° angle nonsense was that Shaq talked about.
Really, you have evidence there are currently thousands of people with the same credentials?
Sounds more like hyperbole to me.
Advanced degrees in education are available from hundreds of colleges. Each of which awards multiple degrees, in multiple years. To be a teacher requires more and more degrees and certifications all the time, so YES, there are certainly thousands with the same Ed.D credentials. Probably tens of thousands.
Are you saying that a Doctor of Education doesn't know anything about education?
Others have said exactly that. In many cases,
the Ed.D isn’t worth the paper it is printed on:
Nothing shows how downright phony the game is than the Ed.D.s — the Doctors of Education. I have seen administrators who have had trouble writing clear letters home to parents and who murdered the English language in public go about brandishing their degrees and insisting on being called “Doctor.”
Mostly though, what I’m saying is this ‘doctorate’ of his gains him zero insight into the shape of the earth. No more than it would gain him insight into the events of 9/11, the efficacy of vaccines, the fate of D. B. Cooper, or the identity of Nicole Brown Simpson’s real killer. It's fine for him to have opinions on these matters, it's fine for him to talk about those opinions, it's fine that you agree with him. His degree is irrelevant to any of it, is what I'm saying.
