Following what MG states, there is an old business adage WRT hiring -
Attitude over aptitude. Certification does not measure attitude.

Good analogy. The SAT, if you dig deep, is not a good measure of future

Go ahead, and certify everything humans do. It won't improve performance,
behavior, pragmatism.
Control freaks.
