Yeah...I don't understand those kind of complaints. Spend a day or two practicing interview questions and brushing up on algorithms and data structures. The same topics come up in most interviews I've been in. You might not use the information every single day but you'll be better for it.
I wouldn't fail someone in a coding interview for getting that exercise wrong but if they had no idea how a linked list worked and they've never had the curiosity to find out that's really bad. I've interviewed coders who have never even heard of a linked list and you can't tell me that's not some indication of their breadth of knowledge.
