What gives you the idea that T.S. Wiley is highly educated? She never completed her B.A. in anthropology. And that was the end of her formal education. See http://wileywatch.org/ts_wileys_credentials
Everything after that is her say-so. See http://wileywatch.org/wiley_credentials_followup
For instance she has claimed as "education" a "7 year Private Tutorial in molecular biology with Dr. Bent Formby, PH.D. 1996-2003". Dr. Formby has responded that they were working on the books together -- he, researching, and she, writing. About Lights Out specifically: "It took forever (3 years) because she was extremely illiterate in bioscience. My work with her has nothing to do with being a private tutor. If I was a private tutor I would have charged her $300 per hour."
About her name appearing on a few journal papers, Dr. Formby says, "In hindsight she should never have been on 3 of my papers. According to NIH rules her interest should have been acknowledged. No more. She has never been in my lab to observe how molecular biology experiments are done."
For years she was falsely claiming to have received that B.A. degree. Newsweek and ABC News exposed it in the national media and that's when it disappeared from her biography.
In my opinion, highly-educated people don't need to lie about their education, and reputable people simply don't do it.
