Perhaps.
As someone in charge of hiring a highly specialized field, I think the chump is the one who answers that question.

That was the prevailing though years ago, but then people started to realize that this isn't a dick measuring contest, so let's just be honest with each other so we can get this done.
I like to ask people "What would it take for you to accept an offer?".
This does a couple of things:
1. It gives me something to come back to if we offer what they ask, but they refuse it and want more.
2. It gives the candidate something to think about so they come up with a REAL number. Not what they were making before, not what they hope to make...but what would the number be to get you here. No bullshite.
If you want the job - give a number and don't "play the game".
