I do agree that the certification process for those important professions plays an important part in ensuring public safety. I offered my comment as a path to feeling a bit better about seeing other people who share one's credentials without, it seems, achieving quite the same standard. I would also offer however, that even those professions do not completely trust the degree. Each one of those professions has a number of oversight and regulation bodies which are inconstant contact with the the practitioners. Specifically: - Malpractice insurers who specify covered and non-covered activities - Professional colleges which review practitioners regularly - the FAA And so forth.
