The answer isnt necessarily important. For example, bending the rules - I have heard questions on a similar vein, like have you ever sped in a car (presuming you drive). I defy anyone to say that at some time in their life, they havent - even if its an accidental 2 mph over the 20 limit (or even doing 7MPH in a 5MPH limit). So you answer honestly and say yes. And then they can (if they feel like applying pressure) start asking more and more brutal questions, like why you think its ok to break the law, and if you speed, what else do you find acceptable. Its how you answer and how you hold yourself that is important.
Bending the rules has some deep foundations. For example airlines have SOP's which are stuck to pretty rigorously. This is not only so that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet, but if you stick to SOP's then if anything happens, then you can be reasonably happy that you were doing exactly as you should. However, there are times when you can and should bend/snap the rules. A captain incapacitaion? You want to get down as soon as possible, so if the weather is below minima to make an approach, you make one anyway. The situation requires it. For all of the questions, the interviewers are simply looking at whether you give a logical, well thought out answer. So yes, you bent the rules at one time. Was it safe? Why did you reach that decision? Would you do it again? What were the consequences? From that one question, there are plenty of background questions...just have a think around the whole idea.
Hope this helps.
