    A little while ago I was working on a youth soccer certification. They talked a bit about the differences in warm-up/cool-downs related to different age groups. They didn't go too deep into but said roughly what you were describing. Pre-adolescent didn't really need much in the way of warm-up/cool-down and you could/should just "let 'em play". It wasn't until later that you didn't to be more on-task with that kind of thing to avoid injury.

    You raise an interesting point about someone that is unable to make decisions for themselves. I suspect that any person in such a state would already have a designated decision maker for them (a parent, guardian, officer of the court, medical authority, etc). I would think that this person would be the the deciding factor.

    My experience with it wasn't quite the same, but was similar. When I was looking at it, it was very much in that category of cert that was mostly about memorizing the study guides/books, and less about building/proving a skillset (which, as mentioned, is hardly uncommon with IT certs unfortunately).

    Where it did have some "value" was that it was a well-known cert that was very useful for "proving" that your org was in compliance. A badge you could hang to auditors and costumers/clients that said you knew your stuff. Again, hardly uncommon with IT certs. :\

    I don't think it's completely worthless. Depending on where you're at in your career, it can be a useful experience. But it should, I think, be treated like a (relatively) beginner-tier cert. Something you might consider at an early point in your journey, but not one I'd necessarily build your resume around. I also think that it's value may depend a lot on exactly what your role in an organization looks like. CEH for an entry-level pen tester or incident handler? Yeah, maybe. For something like an IAM developer or a privacy analyst... eh, less so.
