Your comment is highly offensive to me. Suggesting that there is something wrong with other people... what is wrong with you?

To get a cert at 9 is pretty amazing. You may not think much of it, but honestly, that's an achievement.

Right, amazing. However this amazing achievement could be only accomplished by unthihnking memorization of things that must be understood to function properly as a programmer or even a human being. Her brain was fucked even more than the brain of average "Windows professional", and mankind is lucky to not having to deal with a monster she would grow up to be. We have enough trouble with zombified Microsoft way of thinking already.
