IMHO this is one of the things that makes certification's nifty.  You
don't always score as high as you'd expect...

There is no magic bullet for deciding if a person can do a job.  IMHO
trends toward certification are a great thing.  Certification's narrow
focus mean more than the ambiguity of a BS.   

IMHO it would be a great thing to see "Brainbench certification in A,B,C,
and D required" instead of "BS in Computer Science prefered" on job
posting...
