a degree does not make a scientist. I have a master's degree in underwater archaeology. that alone does not make me a scientist. One of the most prominent members of our dept was an ex electrician. He did not have a degree but was considered an expert in our field. Funny

Yep. People can know things without a degree, the HOPE behind a degree is that it will indicate some higher probability of a person knowing something.
Society forgets that. I doubt many people think about how the world worked before degrees.
