So those of us whose portfolios are mostly classified or proprietary 
will be uncertifiable?

Also, what about those whose work artifacts are mostly the routine 
updating of huge document sets, with no hope of smuggling out a 
before-and-after extract to show what we did? "Well then, which parts 
did you write?" "Damfino. I typed a lot of it in, but it's mostly 
tables, and it's all a team effort."

Maybe we should forget STC and go with ASQ instead. Their certification 
involves REAL testing. Second-hardest exam my wife ever took.
