Which is completely different than saying an employee should just negotiate his starting salary.

No one has said if one employee has a certain skill that separates them from another employee that they should be paid more.  Equal though is equal without that.

Did that sink in?

Having skills is what separates applicants.    It's also what separates people in pay and title.    

If I interview someone and they do not try and negotiate their pay then red flags are raised.

Nope.  Guess not.
