I enjoy answering these interview questions posed by Authority Magazine because they’re so uninformed. Their questions perfectly profile people who don’t understand. If their questions were more intelligent, you’d wonder whether anyone got it. But being as uninformed as they are makes it possible to put misconceptions in the cross-hairs.
