No
Clarification: This is not a new question but since I was criticised for my response to the "artist" question previously - can you just confirm, does "not an artist" also mean "not an actor or theatrical performer"?

Did he have a doctorate-level qualification? (That is, was he entitled to be known as "Dr." rather than "Mr.") ?

Technically.

I assume from this that he was awarded an honorary doctorate, or at one time or another self-styled himself as "doctor" without any qualification to that effect.

That's interesting in its own right.

No honorary or self-styling.

Just read it as 'no'.

If we get to 18 questions I'll elaborate.
