Bruce, this lack of clarity around what it is has been my biggest complaint
since day one about EyeGee. And worse yet, HOW can you legitimately offer
a "certification" around something that NO ONE can agree on what it is?
I've said this before and I'll say it again... it's just like John Godfrey
Saxe's Parable:

Everybody agrees it's SOMETHING, but no two people can agree WHAT it is. So
the might as well say it's a Certification of Knowing "Stuff".
