>>Does MS provide benefits and prestige to people it decides show excellence? If yes, then a visible process would be expected in most professions/industries if such an award is expected to be credible. If no, then it's irrelevant. I'm not sure how your comment above fits in.
It depends on how the award is perceived and used.
