You're reducing:

"You're a skinny little nerdy freshman in high school with no social circle. How do you get the hottest, most popular senior cheerleader to go out with you by the end of the year?"

to:

"How do you ask a girl on a date?"

Interviews are a two-way street Michael. I'll call you.

If that is how you perceive the question in your mind I would expect a wonderfully creative answer that addresses such a problem with a solution and either a plan of execution or organization of necessary functions.

The inability to understand a simple question and provide a valid response is a problem, but fortunately you don't have to hire that problem.

It's very easy to reverse that as in inability to formulate a clear question is a strong indication of inability to manage a software dev. team effectively :)
