In my interview revenge fantasy I imagine turning the tables on the interviewer:

"Before I tell you what I know about design patterns, let me ask you a question. From speaking with you, I can tell that you are articulate and have a good command of the English language, in other words, you're a good communicator.

Now, if I asked you to give me a sentence containing a gerund in a preposition phrase could you? Probably not, even though you probably don't go a day without writing such a sentence. Could I assume that because you aren't familiar with the terms in the above question that you probably aren't a good communicator?"

Now that's one hell of a straw man.
