So instead of not doing a stupid thing you still do it but just warn people in advance and even tell them to practice doing that stupid thing, even if it will not be a part of their job?
I don't think it's stupid, but I do think you shouldn't be surprised by tech interviews.
This is for a screen to make sure you are a programmer. If you can't code up a four line function without an editor, there are going to be a lot of jobs you might like that you won't get. Ditto with calling strangers stupid.
