While I generally agree with this concept, I think it's easy to stray into turning an interview into a language trivia quiz. The .NET Framework is vast and it's relatively easy to find an area where a candidate might not have an immediate answer.
For example, I don't think I've ever used HashTable in an application. While I've heard of it, I couldn't answer specifics about it without looking it up. Since I've been working mostly in MVC and Web API the past few years, I probably wouldn't remember all of the details of WebForms and WCF stuff.
