the same can be said of any certification, not just the CF certification. anybody can cram their brain the night before an exam and pass the exam the next day. well, mostly anybody.
I think most developers recognize that there are far more important things to consider when evaluating somebody than a cert. I think many employers do not recognize this. If a job interview comes down to two potential candidates, each equal in every aspect with the exception of the fact that one has a cert and one does not...odds are the person with the cert gets the job. Short answer is...it can never hurt you to have it.
