High school principals and police chiefs don't need advanced degrees. Cops shouldn't need college degrees at all. We are graduating fleets of dumbasses: They can make a spreadsheet do addition for them, but have no clue whether the curve-fitting a spreadsheet does is valid for their application or even to ask that question. That's lame.
Back in 1988 I purchased an Adam Computer (Coleco) when my daughter was 3 years old; I had her spelling her name and doing rudimentary reading and typing in a matter of weeks.
I was bowling in a league at the time and wrote a spreadsheet program to keep track of the teams, players, handicaps and averages; everything worked fine except the underlying program would not allow the computer to " round down" when the average went over xxx.51; no work around this problem would repeatedly resolve this so I gave up the exercise.
I am currently bowling in a league with my daughter and my current average on their official printout is 172.744; the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Of course, I mentally round down to 172 so it doesn't really matter, I guess.
