This reminds me of a meme that goes something along these lines:

Joins a university;

Studies for their bachelor's degree;

Gets their degree after 3-5+ years;

Studies for their master's;

Gets their master's after 2-4+ years;

Studies for their PhD while working on their thesis for a few more years;

Participares in intensive discussions with their peers, and investigates day and night;

Sends their thesis for peer review;

Reworks their thesis according to the review;

Finally publishes their thesis in an academic journal;

Someone on the internet, reads their thesis title: bulsh*t

Would you care to elaborate on your comment?

Is the master’s really 2-4 years? I always thought it was closer to 1 or 2.

Maybe it depends on the master's. The ones I know are 2 years if you follow the standard plan, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were 1 year master's
