At the risk of sounding like I'm bashing recruiters (I am not) many years ago I got a call from one looking for someone with FOCUS experience. It was not on my resume but MicroFocus was. I guess tiny experience (or the tiny version?) was better than none.

Most headhunters are salesmen by nature (my best tech headhunter was a former car salesman!) and usually don't know much about what they are selling. They know buzzwords open doors and it's really all they need to know.
Your story reminds me of how Richard Feynman got a call from a guy who tried to recruit him to head some rocket research lab, all because Feynman had his name on a patent loosely related to rockets, which he got while working for the Manhattan Project.
