I guess I'm confused. What purpose would a certificate serve if anyone can
generate one that serves any purpose?

If I can generate a certificate that says I'm the pope just by entering that
into your installer, then a certificate that says I'm the pope doesn't prove
I'm the pope.

So what's the point of the entire exercise?!
