Yeah, I don't understand that approach to interviewing. Technical questions are great, but IMO the point isn't to get the right answer. The best technical questions have many "right" answers, depending on the context. And the best interviewees know how to find that "right" answer by analyzing the use cases, customers, clients, etc. to find the best tradeoff. THAT is what I care most about in a technical interview--the ability to handle ambiguity and make the right tradeoffs.
Technical chops are a prerequisite, of course, but they're useless if the candidate doesn't make the right tradeoffs and technical decisions.
