It’s more like asking a carpenter to build a hammer as their practical carpentry interview. It’s probably good they know about hammers, but what you actually want to know is if they can build cabinets.

Design in your head a cabinet that can be designed and built within 30 minutes with no research or preparation, and build it. We will be watching over your shoulder, so please coherently describe your process as you figure out what it is.

You wouldn't have learned to do this at any previous workshop, so hopefully you've specifically practiced making this kind of shitty half-hour cabinet in preparation.
