What possible purpose could it serve to ask that question in a job interview? I always believe that job interviews are two ways; the applicant interviews the company as much as the company interviews the applicant. Also, he didn't whine. He rationally explained as well as he could in a few minutes and moved on. Ultimately, the company liked him but, he wisely didn't go with a company that would have such terrible interviewers and allow such terrible questions in the interview.
