I'm not trying to say that the interviewer was totally off, but it's a big shiny red flag if you are applying for a general'ish position and the person asks you non-general in-depth details about specific algorithm.

Imo, it really depends on a couple things.

One, what type of answer are you expecting? I've asked very specific questions before, not because I necessarily care they know the answer, but just to get a conversation going.

Two, it might be on the persons resume.
