Look, you might not hire someone like that and that's okay. It is and I'm not going to judge you for that (maybe just a little). In the scheme of things though I avoid people/companies like you because of the culture they tend to instill so my advice might not be suited for that and that's okay.

But to say that you will not get hired... ever. Well, that's a bit misleading and encourages an attitude of subservience in the employee (which I despise).

I tend to hire (yes, I am management) people who are confident and have the experience I'm looking for and won't shy away from telling me something I don't want to hear just because it's inconvenient. I also work in more dynamic environments (technology) that require that sort of attitude and I tend to despise HR people because they always bring preconceived notions to what an "ideal candidate" would be to the department's I've run.

So what works for you, and me, might not work for anyone else and my advice stays the same. The main thing is having confidence in yourself and not cutting someone else off at the knees because you think there's a "right way" to approach an interview question.
