Ah, sorry. More to your point, there's a debate (particularly among economists) how much of a degree credential is "skills" vs. "signaling". The proportion of the latter would indicate how much a prestigious degree status matters.
As a side-note, I don't think "respectable" and "prestigious" are synonymous, so you might be reading too much into their claim.

My degree's in some non sense, but I know it helps me get past automated filters. My first decent job was with a startup which are easier to get into.
