I’m not confusing the categories; I’m just holding (from experience) that P(intelligent, rational | diploma) > P(intelligent, rational | ~diploma).
Actually, no, hold on. While I do tend to hold that, I didn’t state or use that assumption anywhere in the statement. In fact, even mentioning it reinforces my thesis: fields that genuinely have high demand for workers miraculously (rollseyes) stop caring so much about the paper credentials in favor of real experience and productivity.
