It depends on what you need. If I need a Docker expert, you can be sure I'll tailor my interview to a Docker deep dive with very precise and detailed questions about commands, concepts, etc. The first step in any interview process should be to think very clearly about what you need and to then adjust any template you have to those needs.

Yeah, I was mostly thinking in the context of a junior role. Generally bullshitting of any kind will be caught out. My point is not that someone could bullshit their way through an interview of this style. It's rather that I think it unfairly favours people with a lot of general and high-level knowledge, over someone with strong fundamentals.
