    That’s an intentionally rigid view of the world.

    The communication gap is that rigidity.

    For example, it may say “minimum requirements” on the web form, but let’s put ourselves into the shoes of the person filling it out. Are they SUPER strict on these minimums? Or are they just filling out the form the best they can?

    Usually it says sobering along the lines of “ideal candidates” and not “bare minimum” but you likely won’t see that due to overly rigid views on the world.

    What if they made a mistake when filling it out, and added things to the “bare minimum “ that aren’t really that harsh a requirement?

    It’s a grey area, it’s not a direct lie and you know that, you just don’t like it.

    Saying it’s a lie assumes you know the intention of the person writing it, and that they intended to deceive you. And you can’t possibly know that either.

    It’s Not a lie and you’re misrepresenting your knowledge of the scenario when you say that.
