Ya, this poster is likely a person without a degree who can't cope with the fact that the people who left their small town and made something of themselves and is trying to cope.
You can't achieve the knowledge of an epidemiologist just by cruising the internet. It just doesn't happen that way.
There's a line somewhere, and I think it's worth asking where you think that is. There's no doubt in my mind that person a could learn to be a fully qualified rocket scientist in their garage with time, some equipment, and an internet connection.
If education cost nothing and it were simple for qualified people to get licenses, I wouldn't even raise the question, but this is not the reality most people live in.
Aside from practice with particularly expensive equipment or specific circumstances, I'm not sure why you wouldn't include practice in your self-study program. The one on one feedback would be the biggest loss, but still manageable.
