I hear you, I don't always word things the best either.

I think your example here is a fair question, but if there is still a lot to cover I may not take the opportunity to answer it either and instead move on to the next part of the interview, if your answer/question gave me what I needed from you. e.g. you gave an answer, and you knew it wasn't the best but were willing to look for other options and collaborate. That said, many times I am the guy who wants to talk through it with you because learning your thought process to me is WAY more important than whether you got the right answer.
