And how is this "Chinese whispers syndrome" different from much of the claptrap that is passed of as diving "education" by those "professional" instructors who are capable of doing little more than repeating what their instructor and/or CD told them?

Solution?
Divorce one's standards from the recreational world as much as possible, defend one's community against all inroads by the recreational diving world as possible.
Stop issuing recreational diving credentials, as a convenience, for entry level members of one's diving community (e.g. commercial, military, scientific). Stop recognizing recreational credentials as having any meaning what-so-ever within your own community.

I did not read Peter saying anything about certification. One of the problems I have with lots of PADI instructors (Peter, John and some others clearly excepted) is their inability to understand the difference between teaching and certification.
