The real problem with the author of the initial post was that not only he had an "attitude", but he even was technically quite incorrect (he could have done worse, but still...), and not just once!

The collision fundamental misunderstanding was really not forgivable :/

Had he been technically correct, the whole non-stop "your question is really too imprecise" thing and perhaps even maybe the stinky "oh my God, the interviewer does not even know the XORBLUB algorithm" one would be more tolerable. But in the context of his own report of the interview, he is just pedant and not that smart...
