Actually, It's not quite the same: if the user at least managed to enable to 
CA checking, then

- for a commercial CA, thousands of untrusted hosts match his check
- for a self-signed CA, only one server matches
- for a dedicated RADIUS Auth CA, only servers within the administrative reach 
which are trusted to handle user authentications anyway match

This *is* a win in security vs. commercial CAs.
