I met a woman who was doing the Sloan program at Wharton who's boss told her "get an MBA or you won't move up in the company". She then went on to explain that everyone higher than her was an MBA.
To further the whole discussion - MBA's are typically very good at optimizing businesses at later stages. These typical results are usually just as anecdotal as the argument "MBAs are toxic". In other words, YMMV, and generally speaking MBA programs pick strong work candidates, but it doesn't universally mean they are all the best.
