Come now Alpha...
You don't think that an interviewer would ask the name of the person they were interviewing...along with their position in the company?
HA!
I can just HEAR how the conversation went....."So Jonathan...what should I refer to you as...."?
I'm sure he would have said something like "Oh, just refer to me as a team member"!, instead of saying he was General Council for the company (which apparently he is).
Makes perfect sense to me.
I keep telling myself....deep breath....count to ten....try to answer without personal attack...if available, always try to present fact to back up your opinion.
