Well, yes, that's bad, but of course what I was trying to point out as
bad in this particular case was that even in the face of an hour's worth
of effort by someone calling from the security department of another
institution, in this case, the purported holder of this certificate was
*unable to say* whether it was actually theirs or not.

Whoops.
