Regarding Fred Cohen, PhD:
Cohen's haughty and bombastic style do nothing good for his reputation. I
assume he advertises his PhD to highlight his early accomplishments; he has
done little since.
Let's also consider the granting institution, a second-rank school.
Cohen's thesis broke new ground, but how many people have read it, or any of
his writings, or know anything about his ideas beyond a single word? How far
did he carry this work? Where are the conference and journal papers? Cohen's
reputation faded into obscurity long ago. Now he is building a new reputation
as a pig-headed loudmouth, threatening his "defamers." Shades of Sternlight.
