In the general case, maybe you're right. In my specific case, "struggling" and "out of your expertise" doesn't describe it. It doesn't matter whether your question deals with my expertise or not; if it's technical and it requires me to actually think about it, I will be unable to answer in an interview setting. My mind will be completely blank. Now, that's just me. Maybe I'm completely unique. Maybe there aren't any other programmers like me, and maybe nobody has to care about my individual quirks. I don't have to care about them, either, because there seem to be enough people in the world who want to hire me. The only attention I need to pay to it is avoiding technical interviews to the extent that I can.
