Strong agree. It reminds me a bit of the format of interview that unskilled or inexperienced hiring managers come up with:
- "How big was your team at your last company?"
- "What languages do you use at your last company?"
- "Do you prefer to use for..in loops or [].for() notation?"
And using the surface answer as the way to make a decision. Being able to navigate a topic from broad-to-specific is a specific skill that is rarely taught and are very lucky if they manage to stumble on to it after enough experience and self-reflection.
