Scott Barman, while describing how two teachers gave him different grades
for the same paper, notes that
>	Both English teachers had a PhD (in English).

This is the root of the problem.  You see, the two teachers had to timeshare
the use of their (single) PhD.  Obviously, one teacher graded the paper while
in possession of the PhD while the other graded the paper while not in
possession of the PhD.  Deciding which teacher assigned what grade is left
as an exercise for the reader.

Anything else you want explained?
