Fascinating sociology to this, if I may. Most his attacks are "you're a nutritional epi"—making fun of that. One, it's not the source of the problem. Two, it comes off like people making fun of Trump for liking burgers—makes the victim look sympathetic against the smug crowd.+

Three, the Harvard credentials exist so it makes the credentialist wagon-circling look like People's Judea fighting Judea People's Front—he's certainly credentialed enough for the public, and plus, crucially the credential alignment/lack thereof isn't the source of the problem.

Finally, as you say, higher-status folks with similar record and no credentials are not similarly piled on which makes it all even less effective if anyone notices: makes the victim look sympathetic against the "you're beneath us" crowd. Better to focus on the real problem, imo.
