I guess if the Facebook thing is true, it means that they find the market for really talented engineers very tight right now so instead or making bets on the best comsci talent in the hope that they can quickly get them up to speed on writing good production code.

Right now the market just isn't that tight, so even assuming that would ever be a good strategy it certainly isn't one now.

More likely it's a rumor that grows with the telling.
