References are pointless and opverrated, and do not give an accurate account of anything with school admissions, shidduchim, jobs, etc. Why would a person list as a reference someone who is going to say nothing but great things about them? They serve no logical purpose whatsoever. A person is only going to give as a reference someone who they know is going to praise them and make them out to be the godol hador, the tzaddik nistar, or the best in their field.
