No, that's super helpful. You know to avoid that job. Likely the requirements listed will be inaccurate as well.

Where are the requirements actually accurate?

For what it's worth, the actual written requirements for many tech jobs are very questionable. In many cases, there's a big disconnect between the people writing the job ads and the people who actually communicate what they want.

And out of sheer laziness or lack of knowledge, there are plenty of recruiters that do things like post JavaScript jobs as Java jobs, as one example I've seen.

That's fair... my first job was putting out listings with DHTML well into the 2010s because no one told HR to update the job descriptions.
