Not every low number is Dr. Peter Welcher & Wendell Odom. Now those guys are
the epitome of staying on the very top for as long as possible. On the
Titanic they would both have clamored to life boats safely making their way
up from third class as men.
I read things Wendell Odom wrote this year, and I can't believe this guy has
been a CCIE since I was in 9th grade!!!!

Yup - There are a lot of clueless managers who think the CCIE is now a
lot easier than it was back in the days. These are the same
ex-engineers who haven't logged into a router in five years.
Can you believe I even had a headhunter tell me once that the CCIE is
easy now and you can find copies of the lab on the web!!!
This is coming from someone with little more technical ability and the
values of a used car salesman!
