Assume a generous interpretation of lordnacho's comment.

In the real world, if you ask a girl you've been flirting with to get coffee together it's a date—even if you don't actually use the word "date."

Similarly, if an employer asks you to come meet a few people at the office, it's an interview—even if they didn't use the word "interview."

The point is that meeting a few people can be an "interview", which is really different than a hardcore structured technical interview.

In this analogy, its like showing up to that coffee and immediately start trying to make out with the person. Yeah, we both knew that might be where this is going, but that's not how the game was set up at this point.
