It would appear that your contact with the book has so befuddled you that
you've forgotten what a paragraph is.
You're right that there are some problems with the CCIE Lab Study Guide
but its a wonderful tool to have, all in all. I imagine the second version,
which I see is out on the shelves at Borders, goes a long way towards correcting
the deficiencies.
I've used the book, errors and all, and I completed 70+ labs before I went
off and started inventing my own stuff. I credit that book with getting me
through ACRC and I recommend it to anyone that is working on Cisco certs ...
wish I'd had it when I was doing the CCNA.
