I have often wondered why a person with a B.Sc. in maths, a Masters in biomedical engineering, Bachelors in medicine and surgery ends up as a media "personality". I was surprised when I found out he he actually had all those sheepskins. I had always regarded him as rather a autodactyl.

Cheers,

Personally I wouldn't read to much into Dr Karl's claims, he is not an
ornithologist, and he is the business of sounding like he knows what he is doing. Every time I hear him make a claim on a field related to a subject I know well, he is usually wrong in some way. My friends who are doctors say the same about his claims on medicine, apparently (allegedly?) sometimes he has been dangerously wrong on medical subjects. I'm sure the guy is smart, but reading a few books doesn't make him an expert in every field, and no doubt the Internet is a source for much of his information, and that is of
course notoriously unreliable.

Chris
