   Well now! That is a very dogmatic assertion, made out of total ignorance.   
      
   In actual fact, I have a BA and a DPhil in Physics at Oxford. (That is the   
   Oxford equivalent of PhD at most universities).   
      
   And I can prove it, naturally. But it would be better, since you are who   
   you are, for you to look it up for yourself.   
      
   But perhaps you do not regard Oxford as a proper college?
