It's _way_ more obvious, and idiotic, than you're making it sound.

For instance, someone sounds like he's replying to a question in the meeting, except they're talking about [ERP app] instead of what we're talking about, and we don't use [ERP app]. This person can't hear any of us telling them that we're not talking about [ERP app], and just keep going on and on, pausing occasionally for responses that none of us can hear. Absolutely no doubt that this person was taking a call from another job, and turned off their speaker instead of the mike on our meeting.

We've had two different remote-only people do this to us that I know about. Both people had been weirdly and disappointingly less capable a couple months after hire than they had appeared in interviews and early in their jobs.
