#1 Learning replaces credentialism.

#2 Lazy and inefficient Human Resource departments created credentialism thus giving former educational institutions power to print and distribute paper affirming intelligence and skill like the Wizard of Oz.

Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.
