Oh! Well. I have not seen Tom's book yet.
But still, when the candidate is explaining this stuff to you, there are plenty of opps to
question him/her to find out if he/she really knows fundamental things..
During one phone interview, we could clearly hear the paper shuffle in the background, while the
candidate asked us to repeat the question (a couple of times) to 'make sure' he understood it
correctly before answering (reading?)it :)....
We stopped phone interview process after this!!
