No, I'm not aware of the CISSP canon. To me, the philosophies of CISSP 
are about as mystic and secretive as Scientology, and as such about as 
useful :)

The 2600 crowd have a lot of well-known philosophies. One of the 
particularly well-known canon of the 2600 crowd is that they never 
actually agree on anything :) And I dare say that some 2600 people have 
CISSPs.

So no, I have no idea what your question is. You suggest that there are 
two diametrically opposed views here, but since you specify both by 
obscure reference and never actually define them, it's really hard to 
tell what the hell you are talking about. Please specify what you think 
the opposing views are, and then we can discuss them.
