I can understand if I was caught out. I have had experience (but no real-world experience) in ecommerce.
I'd be able to answer all your questions, deliver results, learn anything I didn't know in a few days.
Would it be that bad in this case?

It would be better to be honest about your experience, and if you feel you are lacking in some area, get some experience in the area you need while you are looking for a job.
In this particular example, I was looking for reactions for general skills as opposed to to specific roles within a project. My apologies, I should've been clear about that.
The question is, for any individual, what do you consider an acceptable lie? What are your limits?
For me, lying on a resume is not acceptable. For others clearly it is fine.
When you start hiring people, you will quickly realize how many people claim expertise, or even awareness, of languages / systems that they dont know about. e.g. everyone who has used awk '{print $1}' claims to be an awk expert. And its kinda sad that people see such small things as acceptable.
