There was this case of a foreign student who submitted a perfectly written paper, obviously copy/pasted from some websites. At the interview, he could not answer any questions properly, and that made it even more clear that he could not have written the marketing-type paragraphs. I think he did just pass anyway, but that’s a different story - the university tended to let international students pass easier sometimes.
