Yes, I went to university and I actually believe in the value of education. I have the student loans from my MBA to remind me of that.

But what works for me won't work for everyone.

However, you're point about selection bias is a good one, it's just not applicable in terms of educational experience in my case, but in my case it is applicable in terms of geography - I live and work in the SF Bay Area, so educational credentials are just not valued as much here).

But I would contend that the rest of the world might learn a thing or two from the SV model of focusing ruthlessly on results and not pieces of paper.
