Do we really need  a PHD /piece of paper to be able to think- or prove that we can ?

Has PHD become   a means of tick box criteria according to University or supervisor requirements? Has it become  a means of marketing- ie gain  funds for research, publish more easily,attract more students. Is it  a means of blocking individuals out who do not have a PHD nor want to obtain one?

Discuss.

Even worse considering those with bogus certificates---. Also PHD in all countries and from all universities, are not equal.
