You are assuming that the existance of a degree is not part of the
evaluation, where expectations are generated. This, I believe, is the
argument.
In principle, I agree with you. I know my stuff, and it shouldn't
really matter whether I got that from a classroom or work experience (or
both, as is true in my case). To some people, however, a degree is
rated as "proof of ability", which is (to my mind) complete BS (not
Bachelor of Science).
