>I get the impression that most people have taken this to be a pass fail type question in an interview and that’s where the contention is coming from

Precisely. And why not? I have my fellow developers do that ( ask trivia and label the interviewee incompetent, if he cannot answer it) , and most people who have reacted to your post have also probably seen that.

Anyway humor me and tell me how much time it would take?

Using the concepts in how you naturally think about problems?

That will only come from experience. I can't say exactly how much but I'd imagine something in the realm of 6 months minimum of applied usage to different problems.
