My bad. Agencies that are willing to comment on the reliability of other certifiers, don’t want to use the word acceptable, and they instead use the word recommended. This is for legal reasons going back to the Harold Sharfman days owning the KOAOA where he tried suing everyone and their mother for saying that the half moon k symbol was not acceptable. Granted once he died his son was able to steer the agency into acceptability and it was then purchased by the OU.
Bottom line is it’s a legalese thing.
