Online rankings seem to put Harvard pretty high for mathematics! So I wouldn't disregard their opinion just because their degree is from Harvard. I would disregard their opinion because of how faulty the logic is though.

It's not the ranking, it's the being completely out of their field. But y'know, someone should be able to pick up on that if they had gone to Harvard

What do you mean? Harvard has excellent international ranking for math, specifically. How is this "being completely out of their field"?
