Nah, don't look at it in a suitly way. Our society works VERY VERY
HARD to try to "tune out" intuitive knowledge and replace everything
with so-called "facts" printed on paper. We've worked with people who
have a piece of paper that asserts that they know what they're talking
about, while we know that they really don't, and vice-versa.
We are of the same opinions here.

What is an 'informal qualification'?
Simple: A gang of people who know what they're talking about,
asserting that YOU know what you're talking about. In my
not-commonly-shared-but-still-strongly-held opinion, it's the
only qualification that matters.
I will crtainly agree that it is possible to be self-taught, and that
said 'traching' can go to a very high level. Just becase you haven't got
a bit of paper saying you know<foo> does not beam that you know nothign
about<foo> or, indeed, that yuou know less about<foo> than people with
said bit of paper.
