I'd argue that, to a layman, if it is obvious that there aren't that many meaningful hits, then there weren't that many hits. :(

This does call back to the odd false confidence that our industry bakes into the interview process. "Design a realtime chat program that can notify any number of followers that you posted and let them respond with sub millisecond latency."

I can’t push a single key in less than 20ms latency. Those poor interviewees are building Twitter but for bots. Unfortunately, that is probably a relevant skill…
