I never understood the interview questions around what you would call "esoteric facts" about specific frameworks. This tells you nothing except that the candidate is good at cramming, and knew what they needed to cram for.

Now if it's "open book", and the idea is to see how efficient the candidate is at finding the answer, that makes more sense to me.
