[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

From the full article: "...those who were in the 99.9 percentile — the profoundly gifted — were between three and five times more likely to go on to earn a doctorate, secure a patent, publish an article in a scientific journal or publish a literary work. A high level of intellectual ability gives you an enormous real-world advantage. "

Bull****! Notice that the only "advantages" they list are all verbal/intellectual. How about income? How about market-share? How about job satisfaction? How about actual production (as opposed to "visualization")?

The world needs less doctorates (especially in hypen-studies) and more do-ers!

[null and void]

...fewer doctorates...</grammar nazi>

I have to say, I've done pretty well with my PhD. ;-)
