No, please see the context/comment chain that this comment exists in. We're talking about hiring in tech. The average person doesn't apply to, get hired for, or succeed in, tech positions.

Those that hold those higher degrees have an above average intelligence. Those with the highest intelligence usually having the most success in the technical part of the tech workforce. Tech prefers the higher side of the intelligence distribution, because it's hard.
