Certification is a level above not, and offers some level of expertise, as compared to the umpire who has not chosen to become certified in any set of rules. Why not? Lazy or not confident in abilities are two good reasons for not becoming certified, neither of which inspires confidence. I would rather have someone who has proven to understand 80% of the rules than someone who has not bothered.
You want to be a doctor or lawyer or engineer, you have to get certified. You want a driver's license you have to get certified (70% on the exam). I personally don't want drivers than can't pass a simple test with 70% accuracy to be on the road with me.
