Education
Dave Haxton at MacRaven, commenting on yet another inflated resume in the news, reveals the extent of his own formal education. In doing so, he proves a point I've often tried to make -- that formal education, advanced degrees, and scholarly credentials by themselves are no guarantee of intelligence and competence. Dave has intelligence and competence in spades, as any reader of his web log will soon discover.
