Exactly, "it stops working when it becomes an interview question". I mentioned that I think it is in intriguing question, but in the blog post, it is presented as an effective interview question. It seems just very unlikely that the interviewer will be persuaded by my "true" position; after all, most other people strongly disagree. And we can assume that "most other people" means "most highly skilled people in position of influence in the given domain" (otherwise, the answer will be too obvious). Strategically, it makes more sense to present a position that is close to the one the interviewer has; then the interviewer will also find my arguments more reasonable, even if they somewhat disagree.
