The parent misquotes the original article (or the article has been edited since the quotation without a note indicating as such). I quoted the actual article and pointed out that it specifies honorary doctorate. I agree that the parent comment is trying to say that RBG has a degree from Cornell already, but that's not really relevant to the article and it doesn't seem unreasonable to point out exactly why her degree from Cornell wasn't mentioned. It's not a categorical list of every degree she has, and doesn't pretend to be.
