What the ads is trying to say is, I want a CCIE with at least 2 years of being
a CCIE after passing the lab exam. numbers < 15000 will at least have
gone through
one paper re-certification. Probably, they should rephrase it as
"minimum 2 years of working experience as a certified CCIE" maybe
sounds more pleasant...

Passing the lab and carrying that number with you with your job is a massive
responsibility. If you can survive that massive number hanging around the neck
for at least 2 years and working in networking related field with a
fairly decent
complex work, chances are, you're not a *fake* paper CCIE. :p

Sales folks also carry number, so does a CCIE. But the good thing is,
our number never grows year-on-year~ :)
