> OK, and? How does this change anything? You have to be a PhD to be a mathematician anyway.
I don't understand your objection. Comprehensive math training is useful in areas other than academic research math, and it's not like PhD programs erase or overwrite all math instruction from before you entered that program.
I don't think it matters at all, actually. Covering 10% less material in a real analysis class at Wayne State vs. MIT has basically no bearing on society, or even the students at either.
