I definitely agree with you that shallow quizzes are not very informative and are alone not a good methodology for job interviews.

Naturally this question in isolation is not very informative and it is hard to differentiate if the answer to it comes from a more general understanding or is just memorized. It has to be supported with other questions and wider discussion.

What I want to say is that in a larger context this question is still not unfounded and it is hard for me to consider this or any other listed questions as a signalling a dominant status.
