The first half of the sentence you're responding to answers this question already. Because you can't compare candidates fairly if you ask everyone a different question. Is a candidate who aced an easy question better or worse than a candidate who struggled with a difficult question?

What are you asking? Why is an interview where you ask about high level design different from an interview where you ask to write code? Isn't that like asking why an apple is different from an orange? They just are, by definition.
