Credentials don't prove competence, but they certainly put the odds in its favor.

If you were hiring a delivery company, would you be more likely to hire them if none of the drivers had driver's licenses?

How about if only a few of them had driver's licenses, but those few had disavowed the licenses and the agencies that issued them?

How about if all the drivers claimed "We don't need driver's licenses. But we're still better drivers that any of the other companies' drivers who have them!"

I think you get my point.

This is how normal people considering the LC would think. You can't blame them. We, other the other hand, didn't apply such common-sense wisdom. We just gave these guys the keys and watched them drive the trucks over the cliff.
