there is a lot of stupid bullshit in most orgs, and things only get fixed by often irritable, unreasonable people. "shut up and do it" was only an acceptable answer when I was in the military.

if the interviewee pushes back and find they don't like the answer, then it's a good signal to both parties.

This is definitely something that is dependent on the company culture and the personal preferences of the team. I would never want to work with someone who is constantly argumentative over everything, just because he thinks he's pushing back on bullshit.

Sometimes you just have to "document your objection, but do it anyway."

If that's what you want it's a good signal, many companies also already have their quota of irritable, unreasonable people.

Sometimes we want harmony and not drama.

Knowing how to push forward without being abrasive is a more valuable trait.
