Man walks up to a woman on the street and says I'll give you $1 million if you sleep with me, to which she replies "SURE! Let's go!" But he says "Wait! What about $20?!" She retorts "What kind of woman do you think I am?!" He replies, smugly, "We've already established that. We're just negotiating price." That describes 99.99999% of us. The smartest of us just have a menu that details options a little better, so shouldn't be screened out during an interview for inquiring. Although, in fairness, the truly smart person waits until they're offered the job to discuss terms (basic HR tactic).
