I disagree. I'm an inactive CCSI, under the "old school"
certification rules. While I direct CertificationZone's content, I
have no intention of getting further Cisco certifications. This is
for a couple of reasons, and, without speaking for Todd, might very
well be his reasons.
Cisco's lawyers are extremely aggressive at pursuing what they
consider even the appearance of NDA violations. I can't be accused
of violating the confidentiality of a test I've never taken.
Second, I take the viewpoint that I am preparing materials that first
help the student understand the test content, and second deal with
test mechanics. The world is full of examples of people that are
extremely effective teachers of subjects that they either never
practiced or no longer currently practice. I think you'll find that
most sports coaches with a significant winning record were not Hall
of Fame in their sports. Most protocol developers are not CCIEs.
Some very good obstetricians are men. The best collegiate fencer I
knew was at a time when women could not compete, so she became her
team coach.
I believe it's more important to have a thorough understanding of the
principles of the test than the test mechanics. On this list and
elsewhere, including open Cisco sources, there is a lot of material

You are correct that the Cisco Press authors are able to get closer
to the course material without offending Cisco, but I doubt they have
access to the question pool.
