3. Degrees & Titles ~

Example: The name on the office door reads "James A. Rydack, The. B, M. Th. R., As. D., Counselor Extraordinary of the Society of Metaphysicians". A woman about to enter the office says to her husband, "With all those degrees and that title, he must know his stuff".

Meaning: We buy or we believe out of respect for degrees or titles attached to the names of those who persuade us.


this one always cracks me up ;D

I'll be willing to believe an expert more often than not in a field that just goes by joe smith and not the ones that have 6 titles after their name...i always get the feeling they are masking a problem in their line of work if they have to stress their importance of their name(s) so much
