They actually do.
The test isn't (or shouldn't be) that you understand string manipulation (or whatever) but rather that you can work through a new problem. There are many programmers who claim many years of experience but have poor problem solving skills. They can implement a CRUD form and basic tasks, but fall flat when faced with a problem they've never encountered before.
