Surely there's a more direct way to determine how someone's brain is wired? Have a conversation with them about some algorithm or data structure. A four-year CS program is definitely not the only way to learn that sort of thing.

I guess the point here is that I won't even bother bringing in/phone screening candidates without the CS degree. (Sans those who have referrals.)
