Joe Waggle recently spoke of the importance of trust but later derided
the notion of credentials. How one can there be one without the other?
credence
1. Acceptance as true or valid; belief.
2. Claim to acceptance; trustworthiness.
3. Recommendation; credentials: a letter of credence.
from Latin crçdere, to believe
and this, from Wikipedia:
> Sometimes general life experience can be regarded as a credential. For example, when prospective authors submit examples of their writing (such as a book) to publishers, they may be asked to present credentials or other proof that their book has benefited from their life experience (for example a person writing a fiction story about a future civilisation may be helped during the selection process if they tell the publisher that they regularly write for futurology journals)
[ futurolgy? Guess I'll have to look into that. Later ]
