Or lack there of (the illustrious "piece of paper"...Seems I raised the
hackles of many on here sometime back about the requirement for a BS (take
that however you wish) degree as a requirement to become a CHP).  Seems
credentials were the ONLY thing that meant an individual was "qualified" to
sit for the CHP exam.  What is sad is that so many take stock in a piece of
paper than an individual's true knowledge base.  Was this argument
hypocrisy?  I do believe it was.

I agree!  Dr. Phil Plato, formerly at University of Michigan and 
responsible for the first Draft NVLAP Program, and also responsible 
for leading the 1st Performance Test Lab back in the '80s, has a MPH.

Sad how some automatically judge a person by their credentials, 
without any real evidence, background or knowledge. Not very 
scientific ... is it?
