I suspect there are a whole host of people who are similar. Those who fly bombing raids over foreign soil, or even a chap who had 20,000 hours of flight under his belt and still failed a GNav exam.
Sorry I don't find exams particularly exciting. If that's for you then I'm happy for you. Exams are a means to an end for me. Especially the almost complete absurdity of the ATPL.
It's a long way down from that high horse.
