I agree with you 100%. Syntax questions tends to be tricky and quite honestly, I often forget it even when I am at ease at my work, let alone during an interview. I have been asked recently about this in regards of object inheritance and I went so nervous, I forgot everything, including what this is really.
Then again, working under stress is an important factor for a developer. Something breaks, a bug is found on a production and it's Friday – you have to react fast. In order to do so, you have to be able to maintain your stress level and think clearly.
Software Engineering Manager and Endurance Running Race Director - Have lots of ideas of how to simplify and automate endurance race management through workflow optimization and software development.

Good news, I was offered the position in this case. I was told that it was a toss-up between me and another candidate, but soft skills won over. :)
