His theological education is seriously deficient compared to someone like Dan Segraves.
There is nothing in the PhD program that says he needed to do anything but prepare a Thesis.

Im sure it's a "mystery" as to why you chose the school you did. I refer rather to the over all "evil conspiratorial" tone these discussions take as though and yes I know you did not say it was a degree mill, he bought a degree without having to do or prove anything.
According to the website candidates are assigned a program of study. It's a 2 year endeaver and of course he has to prove his proficiency in the field of choice. That is a far cry from days gone by flogging you gave to LS and the other guy.
I don't think we need to use the terms to characterize DKB with suspicion
