Doctor, Father and your eminence - Titles

Do we pay too much attention to titles? What we expect from people based on letters before their name. Are all doctors the same? All equally qualified? All of them capable of not abusing the trust that comes from having those coveted letters?

I think that is one of the many things that make wikipedia good. What you did in college matters less than whether or not you listen to people you meet and read books that you are intersted in.

Being interested in stuff is the only sure fire way to get on in it. Having some letters does not necessarily indicate anything - but it can. Good people are good people and the letters don't take away from them. Usually they can be listened to.
