If you're going to be that full of poop on a CV, you should expect to be called up on it.
This is what baffles me. People keep putting stuff on their resume that they simply don't know anything about. TCP/IP expert, yet they don't know SYN/SYNACK/ACK or subnetting. HTTP expert but they don't know what a 200 response is.
