That's very interesting insight. It reminds me of double-blind tests in medical science . You could extend it by getting the interviewer to ask a mix of real and fake questions - without telling them which are which - to see how interviewees react to things they could have no knowledge of, and interviewers behave delivering unknown real/fake questions. I respect when people are honest about not knowing something. The interviewers could deliver a fake question straight faced or they might call out that they think the question is poor, and they might get it wrong;it could be a real question that the candidate knows or the candidate might pretend they know it, many possible outcomes.
