Andrew, Of course lack of degrees could, and often does, indicate someone is better at starting projects than finishing them. There's a difference though between taking a few extra steps to ensure someone without a degree doesn't fit that stereotype during the interview process and removing everyone who isn't degreed from the candidate pool from the start. I'm definitely seeing more vulnerability researchers entering the job market with degrees, but not as many going back to get degrees. I can think of one good exception who's enrolled at UMass...

I would argue that those not holding advanced degrees, more often than not, tend to lack the ability to successfully see through a large project to it's completion... if not ability, then the experience. I would also begin to argue that more and more "vulnerability researchers" are actually getting advanced degrees and so this requirement is not so far-fetched.
