I'm not at all against DSD or even PADI's Tourist Diver card (or whatever it's called). They give people a taste of it under close supervision the same way I got my taste of skydiving strapped to a another dude. My problem is giving people the idea that they're capable of diving independently when they are not.
Additionally, just because I feel like I might want to fly a rocket to the moon once or twice a year when on vacation doesn't mean I should be able to do it. And yes, I recognize that's a faulty argument, but I hope it expresses my sentiments. Replace that with "ride a motorcycle" (something else I'm technically certified to do but oughtn't do on public roads).
