I could not agree more. I had > 40 years diving experience and over 1800 dives when I took AWO and Nitrox (another joke). I slept through most of it, aced the tests, did the dives, (the deep one with a leaky BCD) got the card, big deal. Nothing changed except the money I had in my pocket. Didn't learn one thing I didn't already know and enlightened the instructor to a few things he was unaware of. All in all a big waste of time and money.
