I think people are missing the forest for the trees on it mattering if Balmer was "right" or "wrong".

It's his interview question. He's using it as a way to see your thought process more than the answer you arrive at at the end.

I imagine if interviewees had these thoughtful disagreements, he'd either guide them to the reason he had a different answer or value their input.
