You know someone's going to make a comment like this when a story about a nine year old girl gains Microsoft certification comes out. There have been a few over history.
I'm sorry, but if a nine year old can get certified, regardless of country, gender, or overall geekiness, then the certification is to easy. Well, perhaps Doogie Howser should be allowed to get certified, but the reality is that certification should also be about real world experience and the ability to apply knowledge to the problem in hand, not just rote learning from a book. A nine year old can't have had a long consulting career yet -- can she?
