Your observation about the wording is fascinating. I may be involved
in setting up a commercial remote lab service, and, in any case,
supervise scenario development for CertificationZone. The problem
you are describing also applies to practice exam development as well
as lab practice.
It is my impression that the CCIE lab, at least, really does focus on
specific features rather than best solution -- I'm thinking of
comments I've heard such as static routes being forbidden in many
scenarios. Such a focus does make sense, in a way, for Cisco -- it's
easier to train proctors to evaluate more constrained solutions.
But my own feeling is that scenarios that make you think about
solutions are better from an educational standpoint -- definitely for
real-world preparation, and secondarily for exam preparation.
What's the feeling of people on this list? Do you prefer scenarios
that mimic the lab as closely as possible (without violating NDA),
scenarios that exercise problem analysis, or a mixture of the two
with clear identification of the scenario designer's intention? Am I
representing the lab reality correctly?
