rebdoniel, the way it was explained to me by someone in the kashrus field is as follows. There are many different types of doctors out there. For some types of doctors if you tell him you’re sick, they’ll tell you “take two aspirin and call me in the morning.” Those types of doctors aren’t really doctors. They have no idea what they’re talking about. The person next to you could have told you the same thing. However there are other doctors that you could go to and tell them you’re sick and they’ll look at your symptoms and see how sick you are and they’ll diagnose you and offer treatment. Those doctors know what they’re doing. This is the same thing with kashrus. Some people call themselves mashgichim and say “I know kashrus, it’s easy.” In reality, however, they have no idea what to look for. There are other people that learn Hilchos Kashrus, know all the Chumras and kulas, and they are reliable Mashgichim.
