Nonononononono, a PHD is a doctorate or a post doc, usually about 5 years on
the top of a Masters degree...
A PHD is not an honorary title at all...
A professor is one thing, a PHD is entirely another thing...

when one attians the rank of 7th or 8th degree black belt, (im
inclined to believe the latter), He may be called Professor...
Professor I, Professor Kimo, Profesor Pierro... I believe that it is
at this point that they have acquired the PHD title... Although I
could be wrong, I don't believe it is an actual paper certification
granting them an actual PHD...
