I think the patronizing tone is well-deserved in the second "carry on and say.." portion. Here's a shorter honest (from me) answer that resembles rikacomet's first section I would probably give at first (after all, good companies can still have crappy hiring practices): "I don't know you well enough to reveal that information." If the interviewer persisted, then I'm with the rest of the group here who are done with the interview at that point, screw how good the company might have been on the inside.
