I believe you should choose your words a little more carefully; inflammatory
verbiage only requires a spark to ignite a flamewar...

If  your talking about configuring ACLs on a router, or writing PERL scripts to
monitor audit logs, you would be correct. But, I disagree if you mean
instituting and managing an effective Information Security Program for a large
corporation.  Although you may "feel" omnisicent as root on your corporate
firewall; you won't get paid or get new goodies to play with without a dedicated
security professional managing the Information Security department and budget.

technically-oriented whereas CISSP can be obtained by someone who doesn't
know a thing about actually implementing security.
