I do not disagree. And, thanks for being polite in saying it.

In defence - your rant applies to 'any' paper-based qualification. I know
of
people with degrees who lack intelligence & common sense - on the otherhand
I know people with degrees who are truly intelligent. The same applies to
IT
certificates.
Something should be said about employers who 'soley' rely on the paper to
prove someones ability. I know if someone walked in with an MCSE, I'd be
able to tell if they were a true MCSE within 30mins, the same for Cisco
pros
and developers. The same situation applies to pro's without certs, some are
blaggers some are not.
No doubt, a seasoned CISSP or true infosec pro would identify someone who
claimed to be a pro when in fact didn't know much at all.
"It's a market differentiator for employers, whether the differences
being
measured are valid or not."
Very true, the fact remains that in my mind a top professional with a CISSP
is more attractive than a top professional `without` a CISSP. And its what
the industry demands (rightly or wrongly)
