I'm a lowly high school diploma holder. I thought the point of getting a PhD meant you had done something novel (your thesis).
Is that wrong?

My phd thesis, just like 99% of other phd theses, does not have any “truly novel” ideas.
Just because it's something that no one has done yet, doesn't mean that it's not the obvious-to-everyone next step in a long, slow march.
