Personally I don't think that is at all surprising. A college education doesn't mean you know what you are doing. The self taught group learned by doing something. My guess is they had a problem to solve and found out to solve it. That's a better education than the towers of Hanoi, some useless sorting algorithm that will never be relevant or the misc crap that is taught in CS.
