Yes, I agree with you. Basic knowledge, pro & cons, when to/not to, differences between different data structures etc. is important and should be in every developer bag.

But during a technical interview where the nerves are already tense, I'd rather appreciate a correct identification of a problem, an answer to that problem and the steps you're going to need in order to improve your first result if needed. "..solving problems with the tools you have".
