Right. I partially agree. Which is why separate certification hasn't succeeded yet. It is, I'd suggest, an area ripe for disruption.

Where I disagree is the tacit implication that, therefore university education is somehow better at being an indicator of those skills and qualities. I've seen a lot of terrible graduates who I wouldn't employ if they paid me: graduates who couldn't reason their way out of a paper bag. So I'd respectfully disagree with that implication.

It does tend to be a better indicator - just because it's not perfect doesn't make it the same.
