The question raised by the article is, can real-world experience make up for a lack of PhD?
A balance of both is perhaps best, which is what industry PhD holders have.

There's a quote I kinda forgot, but it goes something like:
"Did you experience the same thing 10 times, or did you experience 10 years worth?"
And I think this is true for a lot of real world experience, you don't necessarily have 10 year of it even though you've worked 10 years, you have 10 times the same experience.
