Being that none of the CCIEs really test you on real-world design or best
practices, unfortunately, I would say that there's just as likely a chance
of a multi-CCIE doing that as the aforementioned CCIE R&S + CCIP/CCSP/CCVP
person. While I would love to hope not in either case, having the
certification does nothing to prove common sense or good design choices. ;)
I have done troubleshooting consulting (post-design work) in situations
similar to that following those that I would term as "should have known
better" as well as those who "may not have known better". It doesn't make
ya feel better any direction, but nobody likes design training.
I'm hoping this CCDE idea puts a different spin so we are less likely to see
things like that. Technically functional, but just so wrong. :)

Correct!
Most enterprises are NOT good enterprises. I would love to work for one, one
day that values quality work, rather than "sweep it under the rug". Here's
an example;
I worked as a consultant for 4 months for a rather notable hedge fund that
has been in the news a lot lately. They had 6 6509's, with 2 of them being a
core. The original network designer choose to use vlan 10,14,16,17,18,19 on
all the 6509's, yet made the core to core link a 2 x 10gbps port-channel
LAYER 3 ROUTED LINK ONLY.
The layer 2 topology was forced to converge through the access layer 6509's
(no distribution layer, the other 4 were floor access/server switches). When
their several dozen Netapp sans started replication, all user data was very
slow. We found (quickly I might add) that making the 10Gbps port channel
between the core's a layer 2 link would allow a much faster path able to
keep up with the netapps. This problem had persisted for about 1 year until
I fixed it.
Now would a quadruple CCIE have designed this beast? Let's hope not!
LOL

You are demonstrating that you don't know how good enterprises work (it is
all about money, there is no place for pride) plus there are many non CCIEs
that kick our ass!

Penny wise, pound foolish... the IE and his team will be back to fix the
problems later, when the company is desperate to fix issues. They can charge
$1000 per hour. The vp that hired the triple-P level engineer will be out of
a job too. The quad IE will be offered that position in the company, which
he will decline, as he would rather keep socking it to cheap penny wise
organizations. Rinse, wash, repeat.
LOL

Many companies would pick the first one because she is cheaper

Sure, just imagine, someone says that he/she has a CCIE in R&S plus CCSP and
CCIP and CCVP, versus a person with quad CCIE.
Which one would you pick, if everything else is equal?
