I will say without hesitation that it's wrong to consider the only way to increase the sum total of human knowledge is to grant someone a Ph.D.
agreed, but i don't think anyone was arguing this point, though
the contrapositive of:
PhD --> novel contribution to human knowledge
is certainly not:
!(PhD) --> !(novel contribution to human knowledge)
