I can almost see the Company's point though. If you are going into a position, even at 3 months (they may say 3 months now, but really want someone much longer term), they may feel that having you do mundane work will eventually make you an unhappy employee/contractor...that you will undoubtably leave them. It makes more sense for them to find someone who is skilled enough to handle the position, but who is also not overly skilled that they will become bored too soon. See what I'm saying? It will cost them too much in the long run to have to replace you when you decide to find a more challenging assignment.
