The title-text refers to one of the issues I've had as an interviewer - the applicant sometimes doesn't understand the job they're trying to get. Of course in this case Black Hat can be excused, since he now has the interviewer's job, not the one he applied for. 149.168.132.18 (talk) 12:51, 13 August 2012 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

The last paragraph about the mind swap doesn't make sense. Hairy clearly drops into the seat. Also they now sit on opposite sides of the desk and Hairy still has the briefcase. Neither agrees with the mind swap theory. I'll remove it if no one objects.172.70.251.96 21:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- No fan of that theory myself, but "clearly drops into the seat" could be as much a mental illusion as the fall into the case (by whatever mind-swap-shock it might be that makes that happen), etc... I would have drawn the mindswap hypothesis differently, in Randall's shoes, but I can't rule out some valid reasons for this being the way that idea was drawn in his case. 172.69.43.197 00:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- The chair drop is the least issue. He is clearly Hairy. He has the briefcase. They sit in opposite chairs from before. For that theory to make sense, all that has to be an illusion - why would Randall do that? Come on, by pulling the "illusion card" you can save every theory and include it here. 172.70.246.186 10:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- The precedent of 381: Mobius Battle could be being invoked (nearly is, with Hairy clearly expecting it) except that the case only 'works' the once, and doesn't reset the situation), in a reality-warping/perception-warping manner. 141.101.98.87 11:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
