That makes no sense at all. You've essentially called everyone who passes a
cheater, claim that you won't cheat, but that you'll pass on your 2nd
attempt. Blanket statements like that demonstrate your incredible
immaturity and I disagree with your reasoning 100%. So out of 7000+ CCIE's
you'll be the only one who didn't cheat. Doubtful, my friend. Most of the
CCIEs that I know have pretty high integrity, worked hard to achieve their
certification, and would bristle at your accusation.

People pass this exam because they prepare thoroughly. They don't cut
corners. They practice repetitively over and over again. They never look
at anything as being too elementary. A little bit of experience in the
field surely helps. Over and over again, people take the lab exam, and
although they study seriously, the background required to take an exam of
this magnitude isn't in their experience. I postulate that folks have to
retake the exam multiple times because they don't prepare properly, don't
have enough experience to get themselves out of a problem, and don't even
know what they don't know until they take the exam. All three of those
postulates are true for me. Experience...knowledge...practice. Simple
formula that Cisco recommends, and people challenge all the time.
