In my experience, no, it just means the person putting together the list 
doesn't know what they're talking about, literally. They have a pile of 
paper with a list of skills different people told them they were looking 
for, so they wrote them all down. I suspect if you asked the person who 
wrote the ad what kind of software each of those was, they'd say "I don't 
know", even tho the answer is listed on the same line.  Either that, or 
they're optimizing for search engines, just plugging in what everyone might 
search for.

I've been turned down for jobs because they were advertising for ISO and TCP 
networking and I wrote I know both the OSI and the IP stack.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
