I dispute this statistic. It states, in effect, that among players willing to join a PF farm group without being capable of farming, more of them have the clear than don't. I find that somewhat unlikely.

I dispute this assertion as well. I would expect that, among candidate players for a farm group, the majority of those capable of farming have the clear, whereas the majority of those incapable do not have the clear. The suggested option filters out the majority of those incapable while allowing the majority of those capable to join. Therefore it makes assembling an effective farm group out of random players more likely.

I would also say that, by closing one of the avenues by which undeserved clears may be obtained, the system reduces the number of players able to circumvent it. Hence it makes itself more effective.
