I don’t understand why folk seem to think that admitting they are capable of fraud is some kind of dunk.
I mean - yea. Maybe your dentist never actually graduated dental school. Did you call the dental association to check he’s a member? Anyone can just print out a certificate on their home printer and put it on their wall, y’know. And even if he is, do you think the dental association actually called his college to verify the transcript he gave them when he joined in 1988 or whatever?
You really should do an independent audit of your dentist’s dentistry skills. Perhaps you should demand he does some kind of standardised test. But he can’t just go to a testing centre, you have no way of verifying that. He must do the test in front of you.
And how do you know the answers to the standardised test are correct, anyway? You will need to do a dentistry degree yourself first.
TLDR: A trustless society doesn’t work, and most people aren’t out to pull one over you.
