There's lying and there's lying.  Once I answered the "What would your ideal
job be?" question completely honestly.  Never again.

Thereafter I interpreted the question as "What would your ideal job be within
the constraints of the technology you and we are interested in and within the
bounds of what you understand our business to be?"

On the other hand, twice I caught candidates in outright lies.  Once with
regard to grades, once with regard to publications.  Instant permanent shit
list.
