Doesn't PhD just mean they know how to research?  What about true real-world
experience?  Yeah, they know how to learn about the language, but can they
apply what they've learned?  In the computer industry, to me, experience
means way more than a piece of paper.  But then again, you *are* getting
that experience from a piece of paper as well, so I guess it all comes down
to the interview and what they can show there.
