Fair enough. One point where I respectfully disagree

Getting approval from many of the others in and of itself does not mean the scholar is the real deal. For it depends on the knowledge of the others who r giving their approval. And who verifies their qualifications to give such approval.

Conduct embodying words. I think I understand what u mean. I will give u that.

As for commission I thought the scholars get the ultimate reward for addressing questions concerns.

That is why it is important to look at their chains not just their immediate approvers, but also their approvers’ approvers and so on …

And this level of information is available.

It is also understood that it is wrong to say such and such a scholar is more knowledgable because to make that remark we need to be at least as knowledgeable … So yes … We seek out something that we can easily assess … Basically whatever a teachers is giving see if they are themselves taking from the same guidance in their own lives …

Everyone no matter how ignorant has a good idea of good character it is built in to our humanity … So we should be selecting our scholars on that basis above all other bases.

The scholars do not seek that reward from their flock like the managers seek it from their clients. They are called a flock because the scholars cares about them like a shepherd his sheep … There is no self interest directly from the sheep that the shepherd seeks … He is merely caring for them.
