Okay, you are right. I would not dismiss them either for this alone, I would first perhaps ask them why they think that it is the best option, or what alternatives there are, and so forth.

Is not APIPA Windows-only, by the way?

I can definitely give you two octets of an IP address through using awk, sed, or using C and bitwise operations. Do I pass? :D

APIPA was standardized as IPv4LL in RFC 3927[1]. I never remember the acronym IPv4LL-- I always remember APIPA instead. It was a Microsoft construct, but it has fairly broad OS support now, to my knowledge.
