Goodness! I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone by my simple musing! But that being said:

1) It is because of her credentials that I was so surprised by the article--I would expect her to be scrupulous about confidentiality. 

and

2) Academic credentials are not necessarily an automatic guarantee of anything. <shrug> It shouldn't be that way, but I see it a lot.

I'm sorry if I upset you or anyone else. It just struck me as odd. Perhaps the almost cavalier tone of the article was what made me ask. It seemed that it was an appropriate question for this venue.
