I chuckled when the author chided the hypothetical closed-minded interviewer with:

  "No question you ask should be make-or-break. No single 
  answer should be the deciding factor for a candidate."

only to follow it up with this:

  "[You can ask basic questions from their resume.] The  
  candidate isn't going to say "RTFM, dude. It's on the 
  resume!" (and if he does, then end the interview right 
  there)."

I guess it's subjective after all.
