This is a horrible advice.

Don't lie about anything in your resume/CV. If you get called out, your whole reputation and your whole CV then is in Question.

There are lies and there are "lies" waiting to be truths. If you can back it up on the fly, what's the harm?
Ah yes, I'm a brain surgeon. I'll figure it out while I'm operating on your obviously damaged one.
You can't back up lies on the fly. You're contradicting yourself now.
It's horrible advice yeah – but it deals with the reality of the situation. If you're freaked out by being 50 in a field that for some bizarre reason values youth and inexperience, then be 40. Nobody cares, particularly if you're working remote.
