The averages certainly could be distorted by students who are not full time working on their PhD. These exist in the sciences as well as other areas.

Keep in mind, though, that a PhD is a long road. I would love to see real data from a few top programs, but don’t have the time to dig it out.

And I dare say that anyone finishing in less than 5 years is a real outlier, Sakky notwithstanding. They exist, sure, but not commonly.
