Always remember, the licence doesn't give you authority to certify a job so much as the authority to refuse certification. Stamping things off without checking that the job is done properly doesn't make you an LAE, even my 5 year old nephew can manage to do that.
Though I'm no longer certifying I still regard my licence as a qualification to withold certification until I'm satisfied that the job is complete and the aircraft airworthy. Any fool can stamp a job off, but I have pride in my work. There are those who think that it is 'macho' to sign everything off regardless. They are worthy only of our contempt. While they may regard themselves as "Company Men" they are actually imposing additional costs and bigger delays later, when the shoddy or uncompleted work fails and the aircraft suffers extended down time for repairs. Or worse.
