Still, it's objective in the sense that anybody who comes with a 
certificate has successfully memorized the information in the course.

It's also proof that the candidate had enough interest in Haskell to 
invest significant time for obtaining a certificate.

It's a minimal foundation that employers can assume so they don't have 
to check that themselves, they can concentrate on other aspects, and 
it's a known stable foundation, minimal as it may be.

Nothing of that is a full picture of a candidate's developer 
personality, but nothing is anyway.
