My comment wasn't really based on any qualities of the interviewer or company at all. It's based on the perception of the applicant. If an applicant feels it necessary to be deceptive in an interview, that's a big sign that the job is a poor match for them.
It doesn't matter if the applicant's sense is justified or not. Either the applicant doesn't feel they are truly qualified for the job, and are being deceptive to avoid detection, or the applicant doesn't trust the company or people they're interviewing with. Either way, that means it's a poor fit.
After all, it's not exactly rare that a person is a poor fit in a company even if the company, and the applicant, are both excellent.
