This isn't completely accurate, though. There are fields/industries and employers where a masters is still a masters and a doctorate is still a doctorate. The point of downplaying your education sometimes is to be marketable outside of those industries and employers. That's why I recommend people have 2 resumes.

You bring up a really great point. Thank you for stating that. I should have said that in some fields (such as Liberal Arts, for the most part) it works that way. I have friends who are Science and Engineering majors. I feel as though in certain fields like those, my rationale does not necessarily work. In some other fields (not all-and I should have clarified) that idea of a degree not holding as much weight as it used to, still applies.
