Do crossword puzzles test my ability to write novels? No they don't, because remembering some obscure name for a medieval dignitarys hat of office doesn't mean I can write compelling immersive stories.
By the same logic, memorizing how some obscure algorithm is implemented doesn't test my ability to think about real world applications or code in the context of a large project.
