You read 100+ papers a year for a couple of years, many of them word by word several times, and hear published work praised and criticized.

Hey, so, I don't mean to be rude, but is 100 papers/year typical? That seems like a really low amount of reading to be doing. I am not in an institution anymore, so I don't have my finger on the pulse. Also, I think "ability to plan and execute experiments" is probably not the best benefit you can attribute to a PhD; you can do those things elsewhere, and still mingle with people going for a PhDon't.
