Lying to clients

Just seen on Undernet #java:

prived: hi. Is there a new java called wicked java or something?
^talios^: prived: you mean wicket? the web framework
prived: tnx
prived: ^talios^: have a project. Client wants wiket. "Sure I know it, sir!" - reading now... OMG so overcomplicated
^talios^: so - you lied to your client?
prived: ^talios^: He-he, who cares about lies if everyone will be OK at the end of it.

Why oh why do people have to lie to clients when taking on jobs?
