Well I have to say that I know someone who passed the Macromedia
certification using random selection. He had never done a single line of
CFML in his life.

Given that most universities do not require their instructors or professors
to have any skills at teaching, I'm not surprised that he would have such an
opinion. A well designed multiple choice test cannot be passed by random
selection. Depending on the structure, even getting 25% using random
responses would be surprising.
