A common advice for interviews is to underline your key strenghts. A candidate rightfully plays their game by showing expertise and mastery of the things they believe they know and try to at least appear worth hiring. It's up to the interviewer to try and move the conversation to a topic the candidate is not very familiar with and see how they react and handle it. In general, is down to the interviewer to go beyond the "oh yeah i know that" and ask specific question that demostrate actual understanding. But then again, it's fair game to present your best self during an interview. You're literally selling yourself to a potential employer.
