I hate playing games, so I take all employer qualification statements literally, in a sort of Flint-like way. They must *need* someone with an extensive knowledge of biology. They said so right there. They must not want candidates without an extensive knowledge of biology.

I'm not going to interview for a position and have them want me to explain the whole species classification hierarchy and which parts of it point to obvious methods of database normalization off the top of my head. It's hard enough to fake it in the areas that I *am* an expert in.
