I agree 100% with ya, KIl. However, in my quoted statement shown in your post, please read carefully that the word "education" was not mentioned once.
I also agree that education cannot replace experience,
and also "the other way around is true as well".
I also stated as you did that there are bad performing professionals and good performimg ones, but at least when you go to the Doctor's; whether he is a bad or good one you may not know at the time, but at least you were made "ever so slightly" more comfortable by the fact that you saw, M.D. next to his name, and that he is insured and liable to an extent.
In essence, you may want to jump off your "experience over education" horse and look at the whole picture, as we all seem to agree with you for the most part anyway.
