Oh, I don't blame them for trying. I do think
that it would make more sense to list the more
esoteric qualifications as desired, rather
than stated or implied requirements. Back when
I was looking, I learned to treat them that way
anyway, but I worry about the proverbial other
guy/gal, who reads these descriptions and weeps.
