Phil Kabler makes the common mistake of confusing intellectual ability with college degrees. Not every intelligent person gets a college degree. Valuing someone solely on whether, or where, they obtained an advanced degree is intellectual snobbery that disparages the contributions of the self-educated and cheats us of the benefit of their wisdom and abilities.
It takes one set of skills to rise to a position of leadership and achieve success. It requires far less ability to sit in the stands and heckle those who do.
