Three points I'd like to make:

(1) In a profession as diverse as software development, where no two positions are exactly the same between companies, where so many different classes and training materials apply to what we do, why on Earth would you expect a candidate to know names out of a particular book?

(2) You aren't the sum of 'what' and 'who' you know, professionally or otherwise. Knowing names and facts proves nothing at all about your critical thinking ability, learning potential, etc....

(3) Since we're talking Litmus Tests, if I as a candidate was ever asked to rattle off names out of a book during an interview, it would be an immediate red flag. I would no longer be interested in working with that person.
