Ok I agree with your point that "embellishment" may not be the correct term and I really meant the latter. I 100% expect that someone with an advanced computer science degree can demonstrate they have problem solving ability. I don't really think that is an unreasonable assumption. I mean we're talking undergraduate level skills that are the bare minimum for an entry level position at my org. If it really is the case that an advanced computer science degree does not convey computer science knowledge then it reinforces the need for screening questions.
