What in the world is "skill at philosophy"?
You have a higher opinion of people who make socially foolish decisions?
On the other hand, I suspect that it is possible to rank people according to their skill at philosophy, and come up with an ordering that's reasonably widely agreed, as long as the points are not too close. Just for fun, here's a few to rank...
So I guess there is such a thing.
Beyond the obvious signaling opportunity of saying that creationists are the worst people ever, I'm not having an easy time figuring out which way the ranking should go between a celebrity who appears to be totally apathetic towards philosophy and a creationist apologist who is enthusiastically doing very bad philosophy.
I also wonder how much agreement there would be if we tried to establish the ranking between Richard Dawkins and Jerry Fodor.
I do not really agree with Fodor on most issues, but Jerry Fodor(2010) is very different from Jerry Fodor(1978).
