I think you're overvaluing those if you think someone cannot learn those topics if it's apropos to the thing they're doing.
Signal processing is a considerably bigger chunk of schooling though.
I don't disagree with your opinion, I prefer school credentialed programmers, however I don't think your line of reasoning works.
