I do that too. I figure that if they can't teach me about something
they've done in real life, they're probably overstating their
involvement. People should *like* talking about how they went about
solving problems and be proud of what they achieved. But I try as much
as possible to put candidates at ease because I know that not everybody
reacts to interviews the same, which is sadly not the case far too often.
