It isn't difficult to structure a complex question that requires research and have the answer you claim is impossible to find.
An answer? Sure. THE answer? No. Too much subjective reasoning in that; something that performs well with clock time may be far worse in some other metric. It always depends. You need to be able to explain it, and that's what complexity is about. Fundamental comprehension of the tradeoffs of approaches.
> I'm sure that is what you believe but that doesn't make it true.
Great. Same with you. Unfortunately, those companies agree with me and do fairly well filtering candidates.
> I've never met an engineer (or any professional implementing complex processes) who simultaneously grasped the fundamentals of all areas where they needed to possess competence from memory.
Me neither. But then again that's not what we're talking about.
