I agree with you 100%. Syntax questions tends to be tricky and quite honestly, I often forget it even when I am at ease at my work, let alone during an interview. I have been asked recently about this in regards of object inheritance and I went so nervous, I forgot everything, including what this is really.
Then again, working under stress is an important factor for a developer. Something breaks, a bug is found on a production and it's Friday – you have to react fast. In order to do so, you have to be able to maintain your stress level and think clearly.
Collaborative engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building scalable mobile solutions. Passionate about creating healthy team cultures, and connecting with others.

Good news, I was offered the position in this case. I was told that it was a toss-up between me and another candidate, but soft skills won over. :)
