The scenarios are free. I'm sure many folks would be interested in some additional scenarios to work with on their home/work labs. Furthermore, although I haven't seen them, I would suggest they tend far more to the realistic end of networking than the actual CCIE lab. As a guy who has been emphatically making the point that the CCIE does not provide one with sufficient real life knowledge/experience, I would have thought you'd take the other side of this argument and support that Howard's not having taken the lab is a good thing. Life after the lab usually involves doing things in a more practical nature and thus some practical studying can't hurt to much, particularly when it's free.
