Sure, if you're looking for someone who is hard working and willing to learn, then this type of candidate is perfect for you.

But if you're screening for candidates with development experience who you can rely on for technical knowledge, the idea that someone can game your interview process in less than two weeks without previous knowledge is horrifying. But I'm guessing that people looking to hire experienced candidates aren't basing hiring decisions on questions about reversing linked-lists.

I think the point he was trying to make was. If you are productive enough and serious with a little skills you are can be hired.

The reason being you work hard your way towards success. This is far better than the person who knows merely facts.

Knowing doesn't always doing. But in most cases if you are doing something you are likely to know what it is.
