Cisco Mulls Adding Verbal Interview To CCIE Exams

Cisco confirmed that it is running a pilot in its exam lab in Beijing, China that involves candidates taking a 10-minute verbal interview as part of their lab exam. Cisco said that if the pilot is successful, the interview could be introduced as a requirement for CCIE Routing & Switching candidates worldwide. The company has been running the pilot since August."

Your logic reversal has confused me. I believe the idea is that *nobody* should be offended. I'm an agnostic atheist, but I still enjoy the 'holiday spirit' and it doesn't bother me when I'm wished a Merry Christmas, Happy Feast, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukah, whatever the celebration is in whatever country I'm in. People go out of their way to be offended by things they shouldn't be, and that's the heart of the issue.
