I would have to say that is a bit harsh. As the CCIE Written is a great accomplishment as are all level exams that you pass with Cisco. Now, if someone said they were CCIE then had to reclearify and my favorite to hear is well, Im CCIE Theory, so its a form of CCIE. Then I would have to agree with you. Also, I feel it is important for someone to list if they have at least accomplished the written as it shows they are making the effort towards and IE. Many people are happy at the professional level and have no desire to extend or progress past that. When someone shows they have passed the written, it shows they are at least making the effort to achieve more and greater in their career.
Just my soap box speak, thats all. I will step down now.

Back in my "corporate" days, I would immediately reject any resume that
included the words "CCIE written" anywhere (and this was long before I had a
number or ever thought that I would). That just speaks to a certain
deceptiveness that should turn you off from any prospective job candidate,
no matter how seemingly qualified. So it really harms the people trying to
pull this off more than anyone. But the sad truth is that people are
definitely fooled by this. A few months back I had a recruiter call and I
had to turn him down right away because I was already overloaded. He called
me back later that day to ask if I'd be willing to advise him on what a
"CCIE written" was, as he had somebody's resume with that "certification
level" and wanted to know my thoughts as to how qualified this person might
be for the project. I told him that it would be impossible to say on that
basis alone, considering that some true CCIEs aren't altogether too capable
and many non-CCIEs are freakin' geniuses. But I did share my thoughts as to
what it might say about that person's *integrity.*
For whatever that's worth.

Maybe this guy has passed his written and is now studying for the lab.
Unfortunately I have heard people reference themselves as a "Written CCIE"
ie passed written but not lab..... terrible stuff.
