Oct 10, 2022 at 20:53 comment added Bryan Krause @user366312 The help center instructs that "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face". It's quite reasonable for commenters to be bothered by askers making up scenarios that do not apply to the person asking. The imagined scenarios that people come up with tend to be distracting as peoples' imaginations stretch outside realities.
Oct 10, 2022 at 20:30 comment added Yemon Choi "Suppose I already have a PhD in computer science." Given what you say in academia.stackexchange.com/questions/186597/… and academia.stackexchange.com/questions/186387/… I would advise you to complete the PhD you are about to start, before wondering whether one should do a hypothetical history PhD after a hypothetical CS PhD.

Oct 10, 2022 at 7:30 comment added Jochen Glueck Well, I doubt that doing a PhD in a subject will make others acknowledge you as an "authority" in this subject (maybe with the exception of people who are very easily impressed by titles).
Oct 10, 2022 at 7:26 comment added Jochen Glueck What are the main reasons you want to "make [your] extensive knowledge of history official"?
