Frankly Skeptic I reckon you're just exercising the quite obvious potato field sized chip on your shoulder because you don't have a PhD. I've heard this tune from others before, and I've never heard it from anyone who wasn't a bitter inadequate. The smart people just get on with things and never worry about the qualifications of others. There's an old Texan saying "just because someone's smarter than you, doesn't make it their fault". Has it ever occured that some people don't go into senior management because they are utterly uninterested in being some paper pushing corporate entity? Life in the lab, even at a very senior level, has it's advantages you know. Especially now most companies offer advancement down more than one career track (i.e. management and/or research).

Louis!

Are you okay?  A bit under the weather?

You missed a great opportunity for an asterisk:
