Maybe that is something about European psyche that worships bureaucracy as the highest human achievement. I am more into the camp which likes hiking for the sake of it instead of recognition by some regulatory body. Camino de Santiago has a stamp system but it is mostly for the purpose of getting free lodging and meals on the way. People can cheat but those people probably are not interested in those simple accommodations anyway.
