I agree, but the test is also dreadfully easy. Literally it's hard to see why anyone would fail. The more interesting question is why did they fail? Why is this a bad barometer or what is making this a bad barometer despite it being so easy? If you took a career software engineer that would otherwise fail a fizzbuzz interview and put him alone in a room with a computer for an unlimited amount of available time and made it known that he's just solving a fizzbuzz question for fun and not being judged for a future career... I'm willing to bet that he will could walk out of that room in reasonable time with a working fizzbuzz. If you did this for 100 individuals with the exact same credentials as the person above I'm pretty sure you could get 99 people who walk out of that room with a working fizz buzz in reasonable time.
