"Looks like I was completely misinterpreted."

How do you figure? You said that you've worked with a handful of CS PhDs, and you found them useless. It's a pretty straightforward interpretation.



your opinion is that a PhD is not necessarily bad, but (based on your experience with a few people) that a PhD in computer science makes a person useless

Nope.

Hence the "being misinterpreted" statement.

Seems like you want an argument. Go have it with somebody else.


I didn't start this thread. If you sincerely think I misinterpreted your words, you're more than welcome to explain your opinion with something more insightful than "nope".

You may not have meant to say what you said, but that doesn't mean that my summary was wrong.
