Wow, this is like watching bodybuilders comparing biceps. High degree academics may be hard on on the 'only a small portion of the people do it', but it isn't scaling the K2 hard and minimal cutting edge academics is required to get a degree - it is mostly about plowing acceptable fields of study compared to your current 'position' in the academic hierarchy.

With means and will getting a degree is far from spectacular, and comparing the degrees themselves as something reflection a person's mental faculties is moot, you have to atleast review their academic work to do something like that.
