That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Honestly, a paid-for cert
is barely more trustworthy than a self-signed cert. The entire cert
system is broken by design, and benefits nobody but the money collectors
at the major companies (VeriSign, Entrust, etc).

Can somebody convince me that my understanding is mistaken?

Thanks,
