It's true, many very highly educated people hold beliefs that are ridiculed in wider society. Most are not beliefs that are dismissed in those people's field of expertise though.

Look at it from the other way round: she has reached a very high level of science education, which means that she should have a better skill set to determine the worth of claims made in scientific articles, especially scientific articles that have been roundly proven to be dodgy.

Considering this, I don't think there is any problem with questioning her critical thinking skills on this level at least.

(But I don't think that makes her PhD worthless or anything like that, that's silly.)
