I've read and nearly memorized large portions of 6016 as well and I can commiserate with you. I feel a bit of pride mixed with shame at the fact that I know how to quickly jump around in the document and follow all the threads of logic. On the whole I think it's an interesting read, though. And I'm sure knowing it so well doesn't hurt my employability in the industry. Technically I think platforms are supposed to document the areas where they're noncompliant with 6016 and submit it for approval. The name of the process escapes me at the moment. Not sure if anybody ever does it, though.
