Credentialism is about obtaining a title of nobility, a class distinction, not education or even job training.

To suggest otherwise is a core affront to their entire cultural outlook. What, you say that once the King creates me as a Baron, I'm not going to automatically be issued a Barony to rule? How dare you claim otherwise?

To some extent aided and abetted by some HR staffers who also buy into the credentialism / title of nobility outlook on life.

Although its annoyingly self perpetuating and popular, it can be a pretty toxic poison in a business setting.
