It also shows the company and person asking this are completely out of touch with reality, basically arrogant idiots who think their candidate has time to research and make up a lie to answer their questions just like he has time to do the same for the other five hundred or a thousand job postings he replied to. It shows arrogance and way too much self-importance, both huge red flags for any employer. But at least they can target the best liars in their applicant pool.
