Absolutely. Theory doesn't always equal reality. The security guys submitting CVE's to pad their resumes should absolutely be required to submit a working exploit. If they can't then they're just making needless noise
There are definitely bullshit cves out there but I don't think that's a good general rule. Especially in this context where it's literally unpatchable at the root of the problem.
