This has relevance to the thread Michael Froomkin raised, as well. To wit, none of the people I've met has been "certified." And yet it doesn't bother me.
Just because you haven't been able to easily do it yet, nor found it useful, is no reason not to let new technology provide this service to you.
I wasn't saying I wouldn't let new technology provide this service for me. I was just saying that lack of it has not been a problem, so far. In very few of my dealings, even in the economic world, have I needed to have any kind of certification.
