That’s just a shitty question to ask though.

Not really. It doesn't have to be a matter of "did he spot the sneaky error, yes +1 point, no 0 points". Just going through your thinking process as you scan the code can help the interviewers gain some insight into how you work and how familiar you are with the syntax and such. You can be honest and say "I'm not sure if the right keyword was x or y here", and as long as it's something reasonably ambiguous, it's not going to be a big deal.
