yep. it's a negative suggesting multiple potential issues: political/misdirecting, lacking positives that they could have instead highlighted, awareness+communication issues where they didn't realize the mistake, etc. none of those may be true, and even some they are, not matter for the role, so you're right, can be fine. but in a startup scenario.. there's less room for hiring mistakes than in a bigco, so I wouldn't just ignore. I've definitely passed on folks after catching lies in their CV - trust is a pretty basic ingredient before asking someone to own something. overclaiming here isn't a 100% lie, but it is a warning sign on issues like the above that are worth understanding.
