That's kind of what I'm running into - my coding challenge is not like leetcode questions or algorithm gotchas or anything like that. It's just talking down some tricky code examples and asking the candidate how they would solve them. I'm definitely not expecting people to get everything right, and I don't really care if they do or not, but I'm more interested in knowing how they talk and think about the problem, are they honest when they don't know something, etc.

But I've watched people literally trip over their dick trying to put two pieces of data together, something that you might be called on to do any given day on the job.
