Because competent can be argued both ways, and if one says they are competent, they have to prove it, and one says you are not they have to prove it. Judge doesn't care, he only cares who proves their point by 51%. Of course its subjective, that is the point. If you want 100%, don't buy or sell anything.

Read the ASE test thread, doesn't sound like it proves anything to me.

Sounds like a scene in "Idiocracy":

Lawyer: "are you a competent installer?"
Witness: "I have an ASE certification"
lawyer: "Did you install the plaintiffs A arm upside down?"
Witness: "I have an ASE certification"

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
