So I think that's a great example of how someone with a music degree could potentially be one of the world's top infosec experts. (Also I believe Chris Palmer, who used to be my boss and currently works on the Google Chrome security team, has a degree in linguistics but would probably have been rather tempted by a music degree considering his huge passion for music performance.)
I think it's worth considering what really does make for good infosec qualifications, but it's easy to see that it's not necessarily a university degree. (Also considering how many leading infosec experts didn't finish university.)
The only interesting thing about this non-issue is that people brought it up without realizing how they were embarrassing themselves. Talk about a middlebrow dismissal.
I think there's a real issue about the resources that are brought to bear on information security, and what we need to do to get more traction on it, but focusing people's academic background is a misleading way to try to talk about that.
