I'd agree with this, and it's one of the beefs I have with how we tend to do interviews. When I think too about more involved problems I've worked on, there have been times I've had to consider several different data types or algorithms, and potentially build a prototype and refine it. This "instant gratification" we demand of interviewees to churn out some algorithm or data type in an interview isn't really helpful relative to seeing how they actually think.
