I don't think there are that many people deluded to the fact that a 4/5 year long CS course teaches you more than a boot camp.

But as many few people will dispute that you can get started writing production code much faster in the latter.

And what I will add, is that they'll be an average 80% as good as their fresh out of uni CS peers, if not more.

This is spot on. I've employed 2 people in the last year and I can say that the guy with a CS degree had heard of binary tree and big O notation but has no idea about how everything ties together. And CSS and HTML concepts are totally foreign to him. CS degrees are stuck in C land, learning shitty bubble sort implementation in C++ and other crap that doesn't help day to day at all.
