Cause for active tuning Associates to be in an uproar!

[Dave Doremus]

Whats discriminatory about it? Just the facts, ma'am. I'm not sure 
rigorous is correct, but otherwise, why the uproar? They could add, 
'may be a tuner of from 0 to 50 years experience unwilling to submit 
his/her work to examination by his/her peers', would that be better?
