No, that was not what I said.

I said that there is a specific kind of bad candidate to watch out for who generally HAS followed that specific path.

I DID NOT say that ALL people who follow that path will become that kind of bad candidate. Or even most. Just enough that you can't afford to say, "This guy has been programming for 15+ years, is an architect, and sounds smart. I'll skip the programming test."
