Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining and therefore the interviewee will not be hired and therefore it is not a deadlock

Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining

But the interviewee didnt suggest an example, they merely attempted to create a deadlock.

However, in their attempt to do so they imply that they CAN explain a deadlock and therefore should get the job.

The interviewer doesnt ask for an explanation, only if the interviewee is able to provide one.
