With you on time and effort, but like it or not, the MFA is regarded as the terminal degree and so by definition carries the same "prestige" as a doctorate.
Not really "the same prestige"...unless maybe amongst other "fine arts" people; but not the general public. A doctorate entitles the person to use the title "Doctor," do holders of MFA's call themselves doctors too?
