Of course. I didn't say that is a good question, or that the answer should be taken into consideration when hiring. I just don't agree that it's easy to talk BS in that situation if the person asking it really wants to know the truth. (i.e. they don't ask it just because it's on the list)

Personally - I think it's a good question to decide which person you'd rather spend half the day with, if you have 2 equally good candidates.
