I have heard this as well - Having spent years in acquiring mor ethan one
degree in mor ethan one field, I have the ight to laugh or be offended. Why?
Because I did the work. Perhaps the best allusion is this: It may be Piled
Higher and Deeper - but I PILED IT. I did the work. Also having been in sales,
seeing both sides is easy - unless you have done the work, please don't insult
the Result.

	So you'd rather get your nutritional advice from a salesman?
Not me. I've met far too many of them who wouldn't know a branched chain
amino acid from a triglyceride  if their lives depended on it. (And don't
get me started on pharmaceutical salesmen...)
