No, I meant that the interviewee misunderstood the questions/answers given by the recruiter and thus misrepresented them when he wrote the blogpost. Since he couldn't even get the questions right I highly doubt that he gave a correct representation of the recruiters attitude as well.

Which of the following seems more likely?
A recruiter who was already giving the guy the wrong interview, and whose job revolves essentially around HR and sales, made mistakes in asking a series of technical questions.
An expert with decades of relevant technical experience misunderstands and confuses basic networking and system topics.

Which of the following seems more likely?
A person fails to read a question verbatim.
A person who has been the "smartest person in the room" for decades has an inflated view of his fluency on a topic and makes mistakes in his favor when he tries to reconstruct the questions from memory.
