It shows a willful stubbornness that is incredibly difficult to work with. Obviously I'm not asking you the question because I'm a masochist -- I'm asking it because I'm trying to glean something about your abilities. The fact that the author would rather flaunt their ego as a "real developer" than suspend disbelief for a few minutes marks them as unnecessarily argumentative in my mind.

Are you asserting it's impossible (for reasonable person) to come to any different conclusion as to the signal that it sends? As compared with the author's suggested alternative, do you feel that asking such a question is a better way of determining both this signal and the something about the candidate's abilities you were hoping to discover?
