It's not that silly. Just making the point that I've met plenty of people without degrees who are absolutely great engineers. And my company somehow comes up with plenty of badly engineered systems, despite being full of people with CS degrees.
Is it possible that there's some sort of cognitive bias going on with your and mine strong, opposing feelings on this subject?
