If all the interviewers were like that I'd be OK with using whatever they want. But one time I was doing a Python exercise on a google doc and I was missing a colon after an if statement. The guy had me for a couple of minutes trying to find my "error" without telling me it was syntax. The algorithm was correct.

The other problem I see is when you don't agree on something with the interviewer. One guy made me write some fictitious SQL queries on a doc and then asked me some questions. He was wrong about several things but we didn't have any way to test it. I was so shocked he didn't know that stuff that I had to tested after to see if I was actually wrong, but no.
