Menon made no such claim. Note that in the article, there are several quotes of his, but NONE about getting a PhD at Harvard.

Your point about prestigious scientists mentoring is a good one. It happens all the time, then you get your degree elsewhere. Even with an MD, which is what I have experience in, you can rotate to clinics/hospitals/labs all over the world while you're in training. You do it for the experience and exposure to different physicians/diseases, etc. It has nothing to do with where you actually get your degree from.

Menon did NOT "claim" or "confirm" (as the lawsuit puts it) that he got his degree from Harvard in the article. Again, no quotes, and even if there were quotes around that sentence, it did not say that's where he got his PhD.

The mistake, if there was one, was lack of clarity on the part of the writer of the article.

I'm a published author and do interviews all the time. The article comes out, and sometimes you're misquoted. But more often, the reporter, who has little science background, interprets something you say incorrectly and publishes it in the body of the article, not in a quote. This appears to be what happened here, although the sentence in question does not make any claim of a Harvard PhD. This is an incorrect conclusion on Rosen's chart - just as incorrect as their conclusion that the SA article was an accurate source of information.
