Doctor here. It’s not, lol. But we can tell which YouTube videos are legit, it’s a sixth sense from the years of studying.

Same thing goes for financial advice. I can pretty easily tell the difference between the real advice and the nonsense, but most people seem unable to tell the difference.

I mean in the end this is what your degree is actually about. You gain enough knowledge and skills that you are later able to source that information yourself efficiently and correctly.

As a CS graduate I don't need to memorize how to write a Chaitin algorithm or the exact expression of the pumping lemma, but I can look the up easily compared to a novice.
