I think the point is that you can cough up that statement at will during an
interview...but when you are reading your first CCNA book, that BGP
statement probably doesn't make a ton of sense.

And that goes back to my initial statement...a typical CCNA doesn't really
understand how BGP works.

If that's what you consider fun in CCNA interviews...well...I'm not sure
what to say.

BTW, there are regex tools out there to meet your requirements in 30 seconds
or less (for your CCIEs).

Hahaha, intricacies yes. But I believe they drum, "BGP uses AS-PATH to
avoid
loops" into every CCNA student's head. At least they did when I got mine in
1999, and I hear it's much harder nowadays. I don't really worry if they
don't know that since we don't hire entry-level people with the intention of
having them tune/load-balance our BGP, but it's nice to poke and probe a
candidate's boundaries.

With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and
with
science.
