If you cannot fizzbuzz you are not basically qualified. Fizzbuzz is the basic qualification test. If you cannot do conditionals and remainder you cannot be expected to be reasonably proficient enough to do anything else of note in the language.

This is not a point of contention. It is the entire point of fizzbuzz. Fizzbuzz was designed to stop wasting interviewer time by filtering out people who could never in any way be construed to be qualified for a position that involved writing code.
