In my experience, wanting to know why things work the way they do (instead of just accepting that things work a certain way) is a very desirable quality in candidates. Sure, the candidate might have figured out why it worked a certain way and then forgotten about it (which I think is totally fine in this context), but then the interviewer gets to see how candidates approach unknowns.
