I've never received an honorary degree, so I guess I'm no expert on the process.

Something like that, yes. By definition, it is a way of honoring someone who a university feels worthy of honor. Ideally, they are not bestowed lightly. In fact, many more "earned" degrees are typically issued than honorary degrees, by any given institution in any given year.
