I am merely reporting the themes from my conversations with tenured professors. Princeton, Oxford, etc. have delivered some sub-par professors to our school. It was the opinion of the profs. that gave me this perspective. Sorry if their opinions are insulting to you. But I tend to think they know better about the situation than I do. I'm sorry that you disagree. Also, since you are so lacking in logic and insight that you think that my lack of interest in disclosing my location indicates that I am "ill-equipped," you should probably withdraw your candidacy for a PhD and just go get a job.
