Nice bluster. You didn’t answer the question.

Since you are spent so many more years in school than the rest of us... why don't you answer your own question if it you find it relevant to the discussion?

My subordinate on our hazmat team who gave me the most difficulties on calls was a person with an advanced degree in chemistry which should have made him one of our greatest resources. But despite his many years spent in institutions of higher learning, he never was able to master the basic concepts of incident command.

I can't tell you how many times he replied that he was a scientist when assigned a basic task, and when I found that his task had not been completed, I would sometimes find him complaining to my superior officer instead of doing what I had asked.

Your source brought it up as the very raison d'être of his recommendations. So blindly quoting him without understanding it yourself, is not helpful. It's even worse that his conclusions are based on invertebrate experiments.
