But I still don't understand what you mean about turning my statement around. Can you clarify that?

I actually was trying to say 'turn my poorly worded comment around.'
I just meant to say that an interviewer would not ask questions on subjects they weren't comfortable with.
I was probably thinking of a situation several levels of scope down from the job that you may have been interviewing for.
Sorry for the confusion.
That makes sense. Thanks.
Actually, I've seen interviewers ask about stuff they were obviously clueless about. Some admitted they didn't know enough, and made it clear that the reason they were looking for someone was to fill in a knowledge gap in their company. Others thought they knew more than they really did. For about a billion examples of the later, check out thedailywtf.com.
