Interesting point. My first alma mater awarded Dave Thomas (founder of Wendy’s) an honorary degree of humanities; which, I find quite an ironic juxtaposition given the inherent devastating social, moral, and environmental costs of fast food on civilization. However, I do not necessarily feel that my degree is either devalued or heightened by my university bestowing that honor on Dave Thomas.
I believe that regardless of your pedigree and letters that one makes their break(s).
