I think the "arrogant know-it-all" is more a character defect. One can use a certification to expand aforementioned defect. We all surely know a "know-it-all" that dosen't even know what a CCIE is. I know many CCIEs and have seen them all make mistakes as everyone will. I don't tell customers this but screwing up is a valuable learning experience, you tend to remember the problem/resolution much better like the time I learned about the importance of access-lists to prevent routing loops by taking down access to 4 Cray supercomputers and other high end servers.
