If Rossi’s degree was from Stanford, we would expect him to have a certain level of scientific knowledge, as well as experience in a laboratory environment.
You act as though not pursuing a degree and purchasing a degree from a diploma mill are the same, and they are very different. In the former, the subject has decided he does not want or need a diploma. In the latter case, the subject has decided that he needs a university diploma, but does not wish to earn it, so he buys it from a diploma mill with the specific aim of deceiving casual observers into believing that he has earned a degree. The latter subject is a liar and a fraud.
You keep missing the whole point.
Either the man has a functional process, or he does not.
In either case, it matters not at all how much sheep he has on the wall; what matters is whether the process is valid, and that was supposed to be what this thread was about, but a bunch of screaming fools are here to deflect from that question.
Why?

I wouldn’t. At HP I worked with hundreds of them and to use a very technical term if I’m permitted on this forum; most of them sucked...
The problem with people from universities like Stanford is that they are mostly unable or unwilling to think out side the box...
