Why do this?

A national company contacted me after I did their online test and the recruiter starts by telling me I did very well and they wanted to interview me for a position.  Great!  As the interview goes on the recruiter asks when I began MT.  I tell her it was in mid 2006 to which she replies that they require X years experience and cannot go any further with me and then says goodbye. 

I don't get it.  If my testing was good enough why can't I be hired?  I was good enough before they found out I didn't have the years they wanted.  I am more than a little annoyed about this. 

Just needed to vent...
