Agreed, and that goes for all certs, including M.D.'s. I could curl your
hair with stories about my incomptent classmates who would study an hour
a day and sleep through class. Then they'd cram the day before the test
and board exams and forget everything. Some of the things they ended up
doing in medical practice later horrified me, because its clear they
never really learned about pharmacology and physiology, and they're
patient suffered for it.
I'm sure it's the same for all professions with certifying boards. But I
suppose it takes a measure of chaos out of the system. Imagine if we
just had to depend on ABM'ers and folks hypmotized by "hardware" that
falls from heaven as "independent" evaluation?
