This is just one more nail in the coffing of the Certificate Money

certifying authority.

Actually, it does nothing of the sort.

There were study guides before, and this one doesn't change matters.  Before this
book came out, the cert was basically just saying "This person managed to keep
enough security info inside his cranium to pass the exam".  And after the
book came out, the cert still means the same thing.

The bigger question is: "Does knowing enough to pass the exam correspond to
having actual security clue?" - but the existence of a new study guide doesn't
change the debate on that question.
