I would probe for the root issue of the question by seeking more information
I was unsuccesful at a well known Q400 operator in the UK and the interview feedback I got included "you answered too many of our questions with questions".
For me an interview is two way, and my questions were because I wanted to find out more about their operation. eg when I was asked to give my understanding of SOP's, I finished my answer with "I assume that your SOP's are a large part of initial training and is introduced early on during the type rating training". The interviewer seemed to enjoy answering this giving me examples of some scenarios during initial training.
I was succesful elsewhere a short while later and decided not to change my interview technique as I still felt that an interview is a useful opportunity for me to get some info on them.
There certainly are some very odd interview techniques out there. I will say though that I am very happy where I am currently and the interview for this one had no surprises, although it was very structured.
