It's about impressing others so they think better of you. My mother was an expert at this! My ex was a molecular biologist, PhD in zoological chemistry. We were at dinner for her birthday once and the reservation was in "Dr. Titchou". As we were being taken to our table the hostess asked my husband what kind of doctor he was. Mama jumped in and said "he's a gynecologist!" Obviously an MD trumps a PhD....(it was a good thing we both had a cocktail before we left the house...all the better to deal with her)
