I would appear to have missed those traps too. From my reading, he appears to have avoided many traps of assumption, traps that the interviewer blundered into without even noticing. IE, there is no average corpus, language is dynamic, hash functions aren't all equal, etc.

Perhaps you could enlighten me?

In my experience, if the interviewer seems to be trapped by assumptions, they aren't. ;)

Ditto, funnily enough, but the defensiveness portrayed differentiates my experience from that of the OA.
