This sounds like a stronger reaction than "so what?". It sounds like you
discriminate against people who happen to know Ada.
The reason such a claim is irrelevant is that it is self-proclaimed. I would
be very interested in knowing if an "ada programmer" really knew how to use
generics, abstract data types, exceptions, etc. I might be tempted to hire
such a person, even for projects not necessarily involving Ada.
