You're right. I misstated it here and was clearly lying when I said I understood it. Another good tip for interviewees: If you don't really understand something well enough to explain it, sometimes it's better not to bring it up than to introduce it and look silly. Sucks. But you're more likely to lose points than gain them for just kind of knowing something exists. Also applies to hacker news comments ;)
