I don't take such a cynical view but overall I think certifications

are worthless, even the most well meaning and comprehensive certs.

For some, like me, they serve as motivation to learn as much as

possible about a given subject.  But many others will try to game the

system in one way or another so you can never tell if a person holding

a certification knows the subject matter or not.
