Why would an airplane crash into a wall that is only ~150' tall?
Most people of reason would qualify the above to be something of substance. The fact that you do not is indicative of the fact that you seem to have a personal problem.
It will just prove that he called himself a doctor
Have you got any references whatsoever that he called himself a doctor or was listed as an MD?
I've been over that. He was listed as one in the patent office. During his lifetime. Which makes him a liar.
Do you have any references at all for this additional claim and the other claims I asked you about earlier???
"Following a scandal at the commune, where Parallax [Samuel Birley Rowbotham] and others had been unfairly accused of sponsoring 'the traffic in human flesh' and participating in free love, he reinvented himself as an itinerant socialist lecturer and then as 'Dr. Birley Ph.D.", practising in Manchester, Sheffield and other northern towns. When it came to medical research, Parallax's major interest was in investigating ways to make mankind immortal,..." Garwood, Christine. Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea
"In 1861 Rowbotham was married for a second time to the 16-year old daughter of his laundress and settled in London, producing 14 children, of whom 4 survived. He was also alleged to be using the name "Dr. Samuel Birley", living in a beautiful 12-roomed house selling the secrets for prolonging human life and curing every disease imaginable.[4] De Morgan refers to him as S. Goulden.[1] He patented a number of inventions including a 'life-preserving cylindrical railway carriage'. Wikipedia Entry for Samuel Rowbotham

Whether he is listed there or not, which I doubt, does not indicate that he held a degree. It indicates he called himself a doctor. And people believed him to the point that no one questioned it enough to get him arrested. It can occasionally be done today. Just recently, there was a woman in CA who passed herself off as an attorney for 10 yrs. Made partner in a firm, & had never been to law school! If she could do it it 2005-2015 w/ all the background checks we do, just think what that sheister could get away with!
He was only listed as an MD, not a surgeon.

His MD is on his gravestone, as is his PhD.
