I hate when this statement is made. It smacks of piety and a "holier than thou attitude". It is an ignorant statement.

I should have been more clear. I was referring to a certificate issued by UGLE. I see nothing in the GL of Fl certificate that mentions anything about proficiency. This is a standard certificate for all MM. So please pardon me Levelhead.
