start questioning them to get them to apply that knowledge
That’s literally what people do to get a PhD, they defend their thesis by answering a bunch of questions from professors about it. That’s the point of a PhD.
It has nothing to do with “street smarts” unless the degree is from the “School of Hard Knocks”.
Sorry maybe not phds specifically, but masters and bachelors definitely. Lots of certificates and qualifications require just written tests, no practical testing.
Ok, but you said “lots of people get PhDs” without being able to defend their ideas. It’s literally the opposite.
No one gets a PhD without being able to defend their ideas from very hard questions. You are 100% incorrect. Your dissertation defense did not go well and we cannot award you the degree of “Doctorate of Commenting”.
At what point are you satisfied after someone admits their mistake? Are ya just going to stay hung up on the fact that someone said something incorrect? Do you move on?

Ok, but you specifically said “PhD”. Your comment sounds like you just don’t know what a doctorate is.
And I made a mistake, it happens and I even admitted it and provided the proper examples.
Very few qualifications require practical testing, if you want to circle a discussion on the one I made a mistake on in choosing that’s on you.
