Sure, I agree on that. However, in this role the spec called for 
experience on a platform that has had this in production use for a while 
- most applicants carried in valid certification for the platform.

That's right, but when put into a situation where there is a problem, 
they are told about the resource and when they are informed that they 
are being evaluated for process and methodology along with actual 
technical ability; I would expect them to at least make a reasonable 
effort in the right direction.
