DS260 needing physical signature?

[Simplytex 387]

So just for context - this is not my case, but someone is a chat group that I am in, who posted:

 

"Anyone in the process of getting NVC approved? I'm dealing with a complete submission followed by request for resubmitted duplicate documents... I uploaded and ceac shows uploaded. I know a man who is not on this chat. He has exact same problem. Asking for already submitted documents and when he emailed a request for an update they only responded he should wait... They wanted duplicate of w2 and wife prior divorce. Also hand signed versus digital signature on the application ds260. FYI their website says to digital sign."

 

I have paraphrased a bit, but otherwise word-for-word what this person wrote in the chat. I've never heard of this sort of request, and I even have done an archive search of VJ and haven't found any other instances of people saying that NVC has asked for an RFE for a physical signature on the DS260. I'm wondering, did they misread something, or is it really possible that NVC wanted this somehow signed on paper? Even the PDF output of the DS260 doesn't have a place for physical signature if you wanted...

I believe they meant form I-864 Affidavit of Support because it is a common mistake that people sign and date digitally and form gets rejected so 99% that would be the case. (P.S you can't print out and hand sign DS-260 so it is impossible)
