Why would the motive matter anyway?

Once you have a large enough volume of candidates, not differentiating between the candidates based on a degree is ignoring a useful signal.

And once you are sufficiently large, you can probably afford to immediately turn away anyone w/o a degree (or whatever other signals yield high return).

Complex systems don't give a shit, and it sadly makes sense.
