Certification from orgs like Kukkiwon

I can agree with pretty much everything you said here, though in my personal experience, getting the Kukkiwon cert included the personal certification of my instructor.

I think this is probably true of most. But it's too easy to do a google search and find tons of places that will submit your KKW paperwork for you, even though they have never met you. And, as was mentioned, we have had highly ranked KKW practitioners here plainly state that they will issue KKW certs to people who do not practice KKW TKD.
