My experience in the services realm is that there are way more bad PMs than good PMs.

I've seen way too many PMs too afraid to push back on the customer with respect to scope changes who also have no idea how the technical staff think and therefore have no idea how to communicate with them.

I've also found that PMs with more certifications tended to have less of a clue in terms of how to run a project, but that's just my experience.
