Maybe they all have that problem and no one has ever bother to actually check the data?
I know for me and interviewing programmers my personal experience is the degree doesn't matter. I've met plenty of degreed "engineers" who couldn't program for shit from schools like MIT and Harvard. I've also met some amazing programmers from those same places. I don't know what make the difference except possible love of the activity. Not sure how to asses that in an interview or whether it correlates better with outcomes.
