So is your (and others) assumption that Mayer was literally making a decision based on no logic at all? The reason I made my point was that judging someone based on not having a degree can be considered foolish, judging someone on not having a degree where a degree couldn't even be related isn't foolish it's just nonsense - so I gave Mayer the benefit of the doubt. But maybe I was wrong to?

That's exactly why that anecdote has gotten an incredulous reaction. If it's accurate that the position was for a contributing editor for a food blog, caring about a degree is completely nonsensical. It's certainly possible that the story is inaccurate, but it seems to have been included in the article as an intentional example of bizarre decision making.
