You can't even get this right.

What as posted wasn't a Certificate of Live Birth. A Certificate of Live Birth IS a birth certificate. What was posted was a Certification of Live Birth, which is a certified copy of the birth certificate.

Pot, Kettle, Black.

You did not get it right either. The Certification is a certified abstract of the information from the original Certificate of Live Birth, not a copy of any original document.

The certification is quicker to obtain, since the original document need not be manually pulled and copied, but rather the data is obtained from a computer database containing the extracted data. However, if it's specifically requested, a certified copy of the Certificate of Live Birth can be obtained. Instances where that is or might be required include for purposes of the Hawaiian Lands program, and for purposes of obtaining a US passport, if the date the certificate was accepted or filed is more than year after the date of birth. (Doesn't apply in this case).
