I had a similar experience once, a junior developer said we shouldn't hire anyone who couldn't explain SOLID off the top of their head in the interview. I told him I didn't even know what SOLID was (turns out it was formalized long after I graduated from college). You should have seen the look on his face. And yea, this is someone who continuously needed help to finish their tickets on time. And yes, someone who was part of the interviewing process for all tech hires.
