They should have listened to the 4 horsemen podcast, cause these takes are so bad. Seb Park clarified already that the certification was only for backroom data analysts to keep out people who overvalue/lie to advertisers about how much esports is worth.

I'm glad that they decided to narrow the scope but then how does this test keep out the people who overvalue/lie to advertisers?

i don't believe in certificates either, I just didn't think the narrative they pushed is backed up by the recent podcast the 4 horsemen did. I don't really care if its a scam or not, but to talk about this without mentioning the own creators stated intentions (whether they are believable or not) comes off as jarring.

The problem is the official twitter announcement specifically says it is an industry wide certification. So if they have decided to change that stance on a recent podcast that I have not listened to that's great but they still put out that messaging themselves to begin with.
