I am not a PhD, but am recognized as a senior research scientist by a major university, which usually comes after being a PhD. I have also worked with many PhDs, between Pixar and my years at Pixar's predecessor. But unlike them, my expertise is not mathematics.

Remember, we are discussing a text-handling problem, not superstring theory. And there is a great deal of applicable published work. This is not to say that problems aren't difficult to solve. It no doubt takes a lot of sweat to solve them. But perhaps not an advanced degree.

I don't know what Tom Lord's education is, but I've found his work on this problem to be very creative.

Bruce
