Crackpot theory on ridiculous qualifications

You know how job listings will say stuff like “10 yrs of experience with a tool that came out in 2019”?


What if that’s not just a mistake. What if they’re using that to test who’s willing to just deal with nonsense?


Like they don’t want smart people who push back, they want quiet, compliant hires. Could be totally wrong but it makes weird sense
