But just to make the point, I think it is entirely possible for a non-credited individual to have an excellent scholarly knowledge, and have an impressive wealth of information. All the person need do is the necessary research.
Absolutely. I have a few qualifications - I spent 15 years at university after my undergrad - and held a few academic posts, and have published a few small pieces -- but I am no authority on anything!
Yet I know some folk who hold no formal accreditation who have radically changed disciplines I know well - it can happen. Usually however, it doesn't. And as to Acharya and the space aliens - yes absolutely - I must get Beast Rabban to read this. He will have much to say -- but fine work, and look forward to seeing your blog GakuseiDon!
