Hmm not sure, but well, wouldn't a simple question of "where did your degree in chemistry come from" while the person in question is under OAuth?

EDIT: Oath. I've been working too much recently.




since that is exactly what she was lying, or confused about, i fail to see how asking it one more time would help.

in fact, the state prosecutors probably asked her that question a bajillion times, as part of qualifying her as an expert witness.

(added: in case you don't know, i'd like to clarify that qualifying expert witnesses occurs in open court. the defense, judge, jury, anyone watching the case, etc would all hear the question asked, and her answer. this would come after a copy of her CV, including relevant degrees, was submitted.)


How much does it cost to check whether someone got the degree they said they did from the place they said they did?

It's an interesting question about who should bear that cost.


Don't worry OAuth made sense to me in this context somehow..
