Probably plenty of PhDs would squirm to read that headline. On top of everything else that's been said, I'm going to go ahead and guess that internet searches did most of the heavy lifting in most PhD qualifications worldwide by now. Fighting over who has the 'real' science is worthless. If scientific institutions didn't reflect the values that have enabled these last few years of irrationality and poison, they would have resisted it rather than having embraced it.
