I have a horrible feeling I am going to regret adding my 2c to this argument.

No. But getting up tight/argumentative over a trivial piece of the job
description would certainly make you a candidate.
But there's a reason we all put "BS
required" in those ads, and it is
because it's a filter. ?It's not a have/not have filter. ?It's an
asshole/not asshole filter.
This proves the job seekers view of HR, The complexity of a machines
repair here is required as a primary skill, some thing as simple as
mail program can be learned or taught, it is far to trivial to be
mentioned in any job specification.
I think the point and the reader failed to converge.
I had a very quick read of the job spec and while understanding the
complexity of machines quite highly rated, this is a senior role. I
would expect that report writing, project management and managing
people are equally high on the list... To the point where I would
expect the role to actually involve very little fault finding and
repairing, and a more supervision. This did not read like a job spec
for a role where you spend every day doing hands on component level
diagnostics, repair and restoration equipment.
