My comment concerns the interviewer's "Got it" response, not the interviewee's lack of information. I immediately considered what you're saying, but I wonder if it justifies the affirmative response. Your assumption is merely contextually reasonable. It is not implied and not 'clear'. I think it's becoming accepted to say "got it" when a conveyance is understood even when the conveyance remains between the lines. The result is a confirmation of one of two meanings, and no telling which one it is. It's a lot worse when the only value is to be snarky. I've seen both result in dysfunction, though. I think I prefer sincerity.
