Well, while "certificate" is ambiguous (as it can be a verb as well as a
noun), "certify" is not, and for boolean parameters/keywords, we usually
take the imperative from.

So I'd prefer the latter.

(There are of course dozens of instances where one could misguess the
expected type because of this frequent ambiguity, but if we can
disambiguate, why not?)
