No, if this way of thinking came out in an interview, where the candidate's first response to the hypothetical was basically "I don't really understand what the problem is but I'm sure 'they' can mostly fix it" (and obviously I'm paraphrasing into how I interpreted Alloy's response), I wouldn't hire them. Now granted, I'd try to give them a chance to step away from that statement and let them show me that they are interested in understanding the issue and interested in reducing their impact on the product. I'm okay if they don't yet know HOW, but if they basically just throw up their hands, say it's someone else's problem, and leave it at that then no. In fact, hell no. I'm not interested. It's shows a level of entitlement and a lack of interest in their craft and I will not subject my team to someone like that.
