I Never Claimed to be a Medical Doctor

think there are many people in society that are imposters and very well know they are imposters. So what bothers them most are critics and people who expose that they’re imposters, as those latter people represent a risk to them. Sometimes those are colleagues.
Each time Garrett is called out on his lack of qualifications in security he’d post some circle-jerking self-praise and buzzword-dropping in social control media. To be clear, asserting that work on ACPI trains you at security like insisting that writing a CS thesis trains you to be a good physician.
The skills of physicians are very different. They need not write theses. Diagnosis is very important.
“It’s worse,” a friend has told me, as “the “security” degrees in the EU, even the PhD theses which I have seen, don’t cite any of the recognised, foundational articles or authors. It’s all a circle jerk of bullshit. But Microsoft likes it that way.”
Nowadays they call back doors “security”. Real security experts get marginalised.
Don’t claim to be what you are not. It won’t end well.
