There are some views of Yudkowsky I don't necessarily agree with, and none of them have anything to do with him having or not having a PhD.
Are you sure this type of rejection (or excuse of a rejection) is common and significant?
Would you be more inclined to agree with him if he did in fact have a PhD (in the relevant fields)? If your (honest) answer to this question is "yes", then your rejection does have something to do with him not having a PhD.
Based on personal experience, I would say so, yes.
The two comments you and Jiro wrote while composing mine actually made me think about a possibly unclear formulation: I should have written "are not based in any significant way on" instead of "don't have anything to do with".
You actually just described what I wrote as: "Loss of credit because he doesn't have a PhD does not necessarily equal the gain of credit because he does have a PhD"
