My posts weren`t really specifically directed toward you. :P
I was just stating general information and adding on to what you said.

I realised that it was a hypthetical example, but it must be based on something...

I`d say the general hiring practices and work ethic in most Japanese companies.
I didn`t see any direct percentages - just a hypothetical example saying 8 with and 2 without. The thing is, you don`t have to give percentages. The issue being discussed isn`t the percentage of applicants without degrees.
Direct personal experience - Once long ago, when I worked for a company that did indeed hire foreigners from outside of Japan (in contrast to those already inside the country).... Any application without a degree was tossed. It wasn`t even looked over. It never got to the stage of "They seem qualified." because once they checked the educational listing, it was over. Just one company, but I can bet that it is pretty much a reflection of how most companies are.
