From Nate Silver's twitter feed:
This is not a subtweet of anyone in particular and it's going to annoy some people since I have a lot of PhD followers/friends and also I'm a stubborn guy myself but...one thing I'm noticed is that once someone gets a PhD, it become 10x harder to convince them they're wrong.

To this I would add, once someone is hired by a PhD, it becomes 20x harder to convince them they're wrong.
And if they're working on PhD themselves, it becomes 30x harder to convince them they're wrong.
Exhibit A: the employees of Book of Mormon Central who troll faithful LDS who happen to disagree with M2C because they still believe the prophets.
