I could not have said it better, white-boarding is about as far away from a persons coding routine as it gets. Not to mention we all rely on REPL and the debugger from time to time to save us from simple mistakes, there is no iterative process on the whiteboard. Interviewers that insist on white-boarding should be viewed as companies that don't "get it" and you should focus your time elsewhere.
