A bit harsh, but you have a point. There's also the school of "I have one,
so it can't possibly be any use." And I can't possibly comment on that
without offending someone.

Not sure I agree. A degree is usually 3-4 years work. A cert might be
sometimes,, but it might be a week's work on top of a several years of
experience.
