The negative comments in this thread seem representative of bad personal experiences and not the article.
He's saying that he wants a chance to work through a problem with the interviewee, not stump them. There is value to seeing what a candidate knows and has previously done, and I'm sure that by this point in the interview he has determined those.
But these questions are about how the candidate works, and it sounds to me like he has put a lot of effort into making sure this is not like a crappy puzzler, but a conversation that he will help them through.
