To expand on why I think it's a bad question, "Yes, and I think they're right to do so, and here's why" is probably the best response I could come up with, and makes the interview adversarial for no good reason. It becomes an argument about the premise of the question. Putting the interviewer _or_ the interviewee on the defensive helps neither.

Added: I realise I'm being adversarial myself here too :). You are correct, in that the questions could be reworded in better ways. Agree on that!
