That’s a fair point. Regardless of the hurdles, we can try to avoid using “I have a PhD” as a premise in an argument, because then we’d place even more people at a rhetorical disadvantage. I could’ve been clearer about the target of my criticism.

Some people are forced by their institutions to put PhD in their account name. But I agree with the sentiment, the need to pull rank is a red flag for collaboration
