I take issue with that statement (see below) :) Assuming you have taken those exams, without breaking your NDA, would you care to explain that particular statement and why you specifically single out RH exams in that area? (I know the OP mentioned them, tbf) [disclaimer: as you can probably tell from my sig, I *have* taken those exams. In fact I was the senior trainer & examiner in the UK for Red Hat for quite some time, so I'm not without bias here myself] In any case, being an encyclopedia of commands doesn't in itself make one an arse, that just seems to come more easily to some than others.** In fact, that level of knowledge can be quite handy at times. Thankfully it doesn't seem (to me) that arsiness and insult is as common now as it once was in the IRC and web forum arenas.
