While the original question may not have been asked with the following intention, when I ask a question like that in an interview, I'm not looking for a textbook thorough answer or to comb the minutia. I want a demonstration that you can communicate ideas that you know (even how you communicate in the moment that you've worked with them but cannot recall the fine details on the spot). If you don't know, then I'm looking to see how you communicate that. Saying 'I don't know' is not easy for some people, especially in an interview, but bullshit is pretty obvious. I'm not looking to hire bullshitters. Within all of that, there's plenty of room for agile, creative, and curious responses.
