You're in a party full of people invited by friends you know, vaguely clustered around your community/interests.
You find out (maybe by accident) that Bob over there has a PhD. This _____ your estimate that he would be more interesting to talk to than other non-PhDs at this party

I've known plenty of PhDs, they are no more likely to be interesting than anyone else. Often if they are talking about their field they can be incredibly dull because they are far too deep into the details.

Depends on the PhD of course but generally yes. We tend to gravitate to those we consider experts, especially when they're in the same field.

It depends on how old Bob is. If he's around my age, it'll probably be more interesting to talk to him, if the age difference is too big maybe I would find him to be dull
