If he's managed to blag the experience but can actually do the job good for him, if it goes tits up he will be found out quite quickly and the hiring manager will get shafted for being dumber than your mate

Between the introduction of WfW and MCSE type certification, there was no choice but to bluff it. There were no exams, there was no experience; how many times have we laughed here reminiscing about daft agents demanding 2 years experience of MS Access before it was even out of beta? It was all about the most successful bluffer and to a degree still is; my last role was with a large org and there were so many permy bluffers it was unreal but as most of them stand around all day in meetings talking about decision making and which parts of a project to de-scope this week because it's too difficult they remain in post - mostly because the whole industry is rife with it including their boss and their bosses' boss.
In any event, all the big s/w companies do it with their products - I'm still waiting for one to be released that does the job it was intended for perfectly!
Good luck to the bod the OP refers to! If he gets found out, tough on him, if he doesn't, fair play, there was no argument then
Only downside is that there is one more of us and one less role.
