      Listen to Ben. He's enjoying this. No chance of serious discourse.

      If he's an academic, he should know that you can't proscribe terms in academia. You can only describe what you mean by them.

      The way he spoke, I suspected him of being a student. He was also behaving like one.

      That's rather disparaging of students. 😳

      Well Sadly it is. My first employer once said to me; All can study & graduate. Only a few are good at what they do. That's the reality today

      The reality is *many* more hours go into our hobbies than our educations so someone interested in their major will know *far* more about it.

      I've literally spent *far* more hours playing video games than most PhDs have spent learning their majors. Many of them have too.

      Even if you're intelligent, not all forms of academia are for everyone. Some work hard, but they'll never excell. Hard but true.

      No. I did poorly in my nursing degree & was ultimately defeated by the enzymes of the liver.

      By defeated, I mean I said 'Fuck this' and left. No internet then & my brain wouldn't retain the contents of turgid medical texts.

          That was the right choice. Hard as it may be, We all have a set of certain skills. Sometimes we choose what we want, not want we're good at.
