Of course, the funniest part of all of this; well, there are many, really, is that you repeatedly spoke with an air of authority on the topic, and we all knew you were clueless.

Second, is that ypou continue to dodge Matt's request to describe your experience. He's been man enough to do that, and he is worthy of respect for that.

You...not so much...


No, I am sure of what I wrote, and look questionable things up when I have time. (maybe not right away)
And no, I have absolutely 0 fire fighting experience.
But I have owned dozens of buildings with fire systems, have been there for every inspection, and have used, worked on, or observed hundreds of others.

What annoys me is how people try to use any "air of authority" at all, when in reality it is only the test that is important, and that the only evidence we have is from the sources critical of it. We don't have anything concrete that is positive about it. In fact, those suing are not on record as saying it was a good test. It would be different if this company had a long history of writting the exam, but they don't. This was their first time. So it is likely they did not do such a great job.
