What I am saying is that the public associates a college degree (and awards, other prestige, etc.) with credibility. To a great extent, this is true in most industries - this is why it's reasonable for non-technical people, people who don't know better, to apply this sort of safeguard to all "experts" they see. This is mistaken because a degree in system administration isn't going to give him any depth of knowledge that would let him interpret the leaked slides in a more informed way before he leaked them. Whether the public associates a degree with credibility is irrelevant if they're mistaken. Your original assertion was it is OK and legitimate to question a high school dropout's ability to understand what he leaked. It's not okay, nor is it legitimate, for the mere fact of holding a GED to call into question his ability to think critically. Click "link" to reply.
