If reading the job posting thoroughly is not worth his time, why should the company believe he'll think doing the job is worth his time?

The idea is to hire someone that's best for the job, not someone who is best at getting the job.

Granted, not reading the posting thoroughly is not a good indicator, but it really is an extremely minor one. If the candidate is poor there will be plenty of other reasons to disqualify, and if it's an otherwise good candidate it's really not worth getting too worked up over.
