Depends who's doing the pointing.

For a segment none of the folks I know who actually grow organic love,
the point is to charge outrageous fees to "certify" the organicness.

For a segment not that far separated from the high-fee certifiers, the
point (and they spent a lot of money buying politicians to make thier
point) is to make sure that certified organic doesn't mean what you
would think it does so they can charge more for "organic" food without
it really being all that "organic" as you think of it.
