It was your message.  Perhaps I read more into it with your reference to 
the "CCIE race".  But your quote:
"IMO, Dial and SNA are in the same class as my initial Brocade certs, 
NT4 MCSE and 4.1 CNE. Great for drinkin' and telling stories but 
shouldn't be considered in a CCIE race."
So I suppose, judging by your inline comments below, the question should 
be:  What exactly do you define as the "CCIE race"?
 
If we don't know we are racing how do we know who wins?  And just 
because someone possesses a vast collection of knowledge that you do not 
have or deem current and/or relevant, why discount that?
Meh...
